Indicators... Solved the problem of the front left side indicator not working.. or so I thought. The pink wire in the switch had come loose so I held it on the circuit and it flashed, and so I've soldered it back on and nothing. The left indicator is flashing the rear brake light now? I've only had the switch cover, battery and flasher off. Any ideas?!

Sounds like the solder has melted onto or into more circuits and shorting them

Going to replace the whole indicator switch unit, is it hard to replace it? First timer

how much do ya trust your soldering , a "dry" joint could be the problem . an with replacing any wires or cables ,attach a bit of string to what you pull out .an use that to draw in new ,that way it gets routed right ,but with any px switch with block connector they can be fiddly to get thru . H

Agree with Henri, about dry joint,try resoldering wire, remember to let soldering iron heat up fully, maybe clean the tip with a file or sandpaper, back to the bare copper on the tip, let fully heat and "tin" the clean tip with new solder,
then try soldering the wire in place.
Before doing the above, you could check if the wire is broken, by doing a continuity test with a multi meter, if you have access to one😉.
Good luck.

Smalł chip on the board had come off the actual board itself so had order another indicator switch. Whoever was last in it didn't leave much wire at all. Hopefully all will go smoothly. It's a PX125E model

Hi guys,
I have a new switch which is needs connecting up, LML type instead of a Piaggio one.. It has a box on th end where the wires connect in to, is it as easy as plugging it in or do the wires come out and plug in individually?

Take your horn cover off and switch leads will run from its housing in handle bars through the headset down to a multi plug connector behind the horn cover.
You’ll see where existing indicator switch plugs into the multiplug connector.
Might just be a case of swooping them over if plugs/wiring matches up.
