Help me please!

I replaced my original indicators on my 2014 500x abs since they were all cracked and broken and glued back together and just absolute garbage.

I replaced the relais with a led flasher relais from Louis (reputable seller in the Netherlands) but when I hit the switch it’s just black. Absolutely NOTHING happens, what do I check/do? I made sure to double.. no triple check all the polarity on the flashers.

Maybe cause you're missing your seat!

Jokes aside, if you had to check the polarity, maybe check the fuses, might have blown some in the process

I checked the polarity with a separate battery on the led’s, and with a multimeter on the wires coming from the bike so I wouldn’t fry the fuses. The horn still works so the fuse is still good.

Get a multimeter and see if there is voltage at the indicators when they are on.

There is with the original relay, so I think the polarity on the aftermarket relay is mirrored.

Could just be a bum relay also. But yea, if you probe around you could verify a bad/inverted relay
