Re: FLASHING LIGHTS
Interesting problem - never happend to me but I just spent a whole day wiring up worklights (should have been a 1 hour job...) and I got more familiar with the electrical system than I wanted to. You must have a loose connection somewhere - tried jiggling the switch? Or tracing the wire back to the fuse block - maybe the fuse is loose?

Re: FLASHING LIGHTS
It happened to me on my BX23 when I first got it three years ago. The dealer had it outside for a number of months before I bought it and the switches are not watertight. It took me a couple of events like yours, but after blowing out the switch, and storing it under roof it has not happened again in over 2 1/2 years.

Re: FLASHING LIGHTS
Got so sick of it flattening the battery that I removed all wiring from the flasher and head light switches.
The switches get moisture in them and the electronic control ccts go crazy.

Re: FLASHING LIGHTS
The wd-40 seems to evaporate pretty fast though.. A few days after spraying and it's gone... that's why i use the silicone lube for dewattering.. seems to stay in place longer. But Yeah.. both work well for the intended purpose.. etc.

Re: FLASHING LIGHTS
Don't use WD40 - it'll attract and hold too much dust, then you'll have all sorts of problems. Silicone spray shouldn't attract as much dust, but it still may attract some. Dust is as big a problem on those switches as water is.
Best thing to use is an electrical parts cleaner in a spray can that you can get at any auto parts store. Once you get it cleaned up, and if you don't store it outside without a cover, your problem should be pretty well solved.
