I recently had the fornt end apart and after putting it back together I noticed the Left blinker not working, but the Cobra spot was working.
The right blinker woked fine.
I replaced the left bulb with the right bulb and still does not work.  Now the right blinker still works but the runniing light turns off when the blinker is off.

Has anyone ever tried to rewire the light bar?
If so, is there a wiring diagram or schematics for the cobra light bar?
This thig is really ticking me off.

When I turn the left blinker on the indicator light flashes twice as fast as normally.
All fuses are fine.
help please.
Thanks In Advance.

Check your ground connections. 

Ditto... grounds on turns.
The spots self-ground through the Cobra bar to the fork tubes.

... are they grounding to the frame back through the light bucket or through the steering head bearings???

Wiring is not my speacialty, I am not sure I can find the ground from the hot.
I will dig into it either Friday or this weekend.
Will let you know the results.

Thanks

Here's a schematic- select the different pages at the top to see the entire drawing.

I have that diagram in my manual.
I was hoping for a diagram for the Cobra Light Bar.

But I do appreciate it, never thought to look at that schematic.
I hope to get a look at it Saturday.
Thanks Gregg

should just be power and it looks like the ground is through the body of the bar........... http://www.rattlebars.com/valkfaq/circuits.html

MM, his spots are working.  The left running light/turnsignal isn't.  It doesn't ground through the lightbar but through the wiring harness in the headlight shell.
