How do I replace the rear left turn signal?

Post by JCC723 »

I ordered a replacement and tried removing the old one. The problem is the electric wire disappears up toward the seat somewhere and I am not sure how to to get to where the wires unplug. Any help would be appreciated. What more do i need to disassemble? Thanks.

Hi and welcome! Hopefully the below pics will help ;)
Here's a website well worth holding onto: http://www.servicehonda.com/parts/lookup. You can find this turn signal photo below at this site along with part description by number.

Thanks for the info. I have the proper part from the dealership I just don't know what to take apart to gain access to unplug and plug in the old/new signal. I'll look at the site you gave me.

Thanks for the welcome and the help. I appreciate it.

I googled how to do it and no info or nothing on youtube. I did find this site and looked around and did not find my question so posted it.

What I need to know is what do I have to take apart under the seat near the tail light to access where the wires plug in because I can't see the ends or get to them. I took two or three pieces off last night and still could not access it so gave up for the day and put it back together. I have a bad feeling the whole underseat storage area has to come out to access it.

The part I got directly from the dealership and matches your drawing. Not sure if the dealership could tell me over the phone or not. Hate to have them fix it as I am sure that will be a huge bill.

Okay, now pics from my PCX 125 Service Manual (should be same or similar to 150)
Sorry not the best quality. I did this on the fly. Good luck ;)

Thanks again it looks like that might help. I took cover off yesterday and looked like mine crossed in front of tail light near seat latch and went to the right. Real busy with work so probably won't try again until this weekend and will let you know how it goes. I'll try to remember to take pics.

Hi JCC723, welcome to the forums!

Replacing the blinkers is fairly easy -- the harness for the blinkers in the rear is on the right side of the bike.

I'm going to use some pics from a how-to (this one: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2473 ) to make things clear...

Flip up the seat. Remove the two screws on the rear wing.

Image


Gently pry the rear wing cover up. There is a clip in the back middle, and two up front. I find it's easiest to remove the front clips, then the rear last.

Image


Remove the 4 bolts underneath on the rear wing support:

Image


Once the bolts are removed, gently lift at the back and unclip the rear side fairings from the front of the rear support on either side.

Image


This pic is from another how-to, you can see what the harness looks like on my dirty PCX. :lol: Note that there's some extra crap on the harness that I've installed (sloppily):

Nice 'hot' little red PCX, Dave! :-) By the way, that is where I added wires for my tailbox on my PCX. I should have done that on hers but didn't know how at the time. I learned from your examples. Thanks.

I got the light replaced thanks to my handy neighbor. Now I'm putting it back together and noticed a hose sticking pout of the coolant tank. It is about a six inch house and comes out of the tank right next to the cap. Any idea where this goes. Thanks.

Hmm. I'm guessing that's the overflow tube, does the route it follows in this picture clear it up?

Yep it looks just like your picture maddiedog. Thanks everyone for your help. The light is replaced and working and looks much better than the electrical tape holding the broken one in place. I gave her a nice bath and she looks great. Same color red as the one in your pics. Thanks again everyone I really appreciate it.
