The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

where is the flasher for the turn signals im looking at swapping to leds and i need to find what flasher i need

The proper term is relay. It's up front, underneath the windshield cover.

A pic is worth a thousand words:

maybe off topic a bit, but anyone know why small scoots(pcx 150 included) don't have a 4 way/ emergency/hazard, flasher/turn signal ?

Don't know about the States, but here in the UK, the last 3 motorcycles I have bought have not had this.

no clue on the hazard question but thanks so much for that and is it just a basic 2 prong

Why would they need them?

I would like to have had it for lane splitting on the highway... Okay, the high beam works as well, but flashing orange lights might just catch your attention if you see them blinking in the corner of your eye, more than another white light in the traffic jam does.

To warn others of a hazard? To filter through traffic? To be on the safe side if you are stranded on the side of a dual carriageway?

There are places on the planet where you get charged for manslaughter if anybody who crashes into your stranded vehicle was not warned of a hazard (e.g. the fate of a driver of a Porsche 911 who didn't warn five British bikers that crashed into his car on the Nurburgring).

I don't thinks its legal to use your flashers whilst moving in many countries

The Nurburgring story does sound dramatic indeed, but perhaps a scooter in the same circumstances could be pushed off the road. Or the racing line at least

Hi Maddiedog. Yes, your picture is worth a thousand words. Bought a beeper flasher relay (guy at the shop said it should fit the PCX) when I was on holiday in Penang last month but had wondered where the relay was located on the bike. Hope to replace the relay this weekend.

I own a 2014 PCX. Does anyone know where the turn signal relay is located?

I tried to install an alarm and now the left turn signal is always blinking. I removed the alarm but the problem remains.

I imagine the relay needs to be replaced but I can't find it. Also, anyone know what is that "box" in the front (it has "k35a" printed)?

Thank you

As You You stated, in the UK (and other countries) it's not legal to use your hazrd lights whilst moving for normal driving uses (just to warn others if you are broken down in a dangerous position to you and other traffic). btw - the 2014/5 pcx does have a hazard switch and flashes all the led indicators simultaneously (maybe to meet a new EU directive)

That "box" is the led control unit, the relay might be in that "box"? I don't have a led control unit, and I'm using a led relay 3 pin style for my 15 headlight.

Pretty sure now (thanks whitenoise for the pics and info) you will need a new led control unit for your flasher problem...
cheapcycleparts.com has it listed, but no price/availability

Good pic das, I recommend them as well

So the 2014 pcx doesn't have a stand-alone relay for the turn signal lights like the previous versions?

Thank you all for your help.

Maybe it's more complicated due to the 'hazard' warning feature introduced with the new PCX.

Yes, No stand alone relay for the new model.
But maybe you can bypass it with older style relay, like I said my signals work fine with a led relay(they just stayed on with the stock 13 relay).

Any idea on the new, integrated, led relay price range?
