1996 850R Turn Signal Noise

Post by wackenhut »

Hi,

So this might seem like a strange question, however when I activate the turn signal (left or right), besides the normal clicking sound, there is an occasional squeaking noise. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Not quite sure how the signal operates once the stalk is moved down or up.

Thank you.

I had a loud clicking from my turn signal flasher/emergency blinker relay. I quieted it down by putting a piece of foam insulation between the relay and the case. (The red arrows were from the electrolytic capacitor replacement job I did a while back).
The relay is the large black component labeled Takamisawa on the PCB
