Here is the aliment affecting my R80/7. Turn on the turn signals. They work just fine. The beeper works as should. The dash light blinks once or twice and then.... nothing. The turn signals keep flashing, and the beeper keeps beeping, but the indicator light on the dash is a one, maybe two blinks affair and then, dark! Turn the signal off, and then back on? The dash light will blink once or twice as before and then dark.
Any thots on where to start? Not really a HUGE deal but I hate being THAT guy riding around with his turn signal just a flashing away.
This is only a “give it a try” suggestion. The beeper and beeper relay are behind one of the battery covers - right side I believe. I would unplug the beeper, and pull the relay out of it’s socket. Then try the turn signals. Those components have caused weird problems before.
And when you go to plug them back in, dip the relay and signal contacts into No-Ox-Id anti-oxidation compound to insure the best possible electrical connections.

Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
