Please!

As I posted a little while ago my CG was blowing indicator relays up. I was pointed to the ballast resistor as being at fault.

I ordered a replacement, and wired the indicators direct (i.e. replaced the relay with a length of wire) and everything worked bar the blown sidelight bulb, except the indicators didn't flash obviously. Then pretty much everything packed up... I was hoping this was just due to the fubared resistor, but having fitted the replacement resistor the replacement sidelight, full beam and the tailight all work fine, but the brake light, dipped beam and indicators (still direct wired) dont show any signs of life at all- but the bulbs dont appear to have blown, certainly all the filaments are intact.

Any ideas what may have broken/ become disconnected/ gone wrong now folks? I'm getting a tad fed up with the thing, I got my CBT and rode it for about a week before it started playing silly buggers!

Cheers all,

Matt.

Oh yeah, 1982 6v CG125-c.

*Edit* I replaced the headlight bulb and now I've got dipped beam as well. Replaced the tail light bulb too but I don't have a brakelight still... I spoke to one of the guys in the workshop at my local bike place and he said that the brake light and indicators have a different power supply than the rest (e.g. engine/ battery), I cant remember which he said they were supplied from and I'm not sure where I'd check nor what to expect anyway. If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it, I really want to get riding especially now the sun is out, and booking it into the workshop for them to sort it will probably cost getting on for half the value of the bike Sad
