Electrical Faults, Help

1. Bright Lights dont work anymore, Light can be flashed but lights go out when switched to the bright position.
2. Indicators/Flashers start flashing normally and then get a a bit out of hand.
3. Rev Counter works fine some days, but then becomes erratic when idling, the motor is running perfect.

For all of this to start happening at once, I would say that you have a grounding problem...

Check your wires!

Brights could be related to the combination switch.
