High beam flasher doesn't flash

[pan]

Hi. 99 model Busa, stock everything, except bling bits

Noticed today that my high beams work okay when I use the red switch, but the flasher (left forefinger) doesn't work. Is there a fuse for it, a bad connection or could it be something else? Anyone else had this problem?

I'd be guessing its a bad connection Pan.
Maybe the switch is corroded up from lack of use..
I suggest before pulling it apart, try spraying some WD40 into the switch housing through a crack in the button hole.

Wont be a fuse if you can use HB on the main light switch.

I had that happeneing to me due to road crap and lack of use.I was going to use WD but I was advised by an auto electrician that its not the best stuff to use on electric components.He strongly recomended a contact cleaner for pcs and the sort .Just my 2c

Thanks Ruben. I actually tried the "anti rust contact cleaner" today. Didn't work because I just sprayed it from the outside... will take the unit apart one day and do it properly
