Lift the tank. Underneath it you'll find a plastic connector block joining loads of wires together. Turn the ignition on and push this connector block together, or twist it around a bit. If the ignition sequence starts, it'll be because the wires in the connector block are corroded. Moving the block sometimes makes a temporary fix, but ultimately it'll happen again until the block or the wiring harness ideally, is replaced.

It sounds like you have a short in your wiring harness. I would recomend having it looked at by a dealer. That way if something goes wrong, you can blame them....lol

My horn wont work on my triumph rocket 3

Firstly check the fuse has not blown. Simple I know, but it is amazing how many times this is overlooked. If okay try the following:
The horn should have 2 wires. One is live the other earth/ground. Check that the earth wire is grounded securely and most of all CLEANLY. Try the horn now. If it still doesn't work run a live from your battery and touch the live connection on the horn. If it still does not sound I would suspect the horn is broken and needs replacing.
If it does work then I would suspect either the horn button is faulty or there is a broken wire somewhere in the horn circuit.

Why wont my horn work on my triumph rocket 3 fuses fine everything else works fine

Remove the wire from the horn, connect a 12v test light to the wire and press the horn button, if there is power at the wire the problem will be with the horn.

Sounds like you need to reset your alarm kill switch, which should be located near the driverside kick panels. GL.

883 wont start

The battery might just be done or warn out, if you get lights when you turn the key on, and can honk the horn and everything, then it should click, if you are able to honk the horn and lights etc. and they aren't real weak, when you hit the starter it should tick, if your lights are bright and horn is loud and brake light responds quickly, then I'd ask a Harley dealer about it.

Ducati 620s - Won't Start - Dead

The battery has died over the winter. Indicators staying on is a sure fire signal of low battery charge.

The battery may have enough amperage to get the headlight and the horn working, but the indicator relays take a bit more.

New battery I'm afraid.
