Back turn (direction) indicator lights issue

Softwareupdate has been installed today...will see if the problem comes back on the next longer ride. Reason for the problem per my dealer: the previously installed software was for turning signals with running lights...which the Rocket 3 obviously does not have.

Hello Folks, sharing my issue in search of enlighten here...

When I took delivery of my 2020 GT I noticed that the back turning indicators were wrongly wired (when you selected right turn both the front indicator and the arrow in the instrument panel were fine but the functioning indicator in the back was the left...) quick trip back to the dealer and they switched the connectors back in the assembly and voilà .... BUT...

Now from time to time, I get either the general warning symbol, the faulty light symbol (and corresponding message on the tray) and the back light stops working for a while to resume proper functioning by itself but maybe in an hour or the next ride, it fails again without any specific pattern (sometimes fails the left, sometime the right) always fixing the issue by itself (FOR NOW AT LEAST...)

Any thoughts, ideas? anyone else with the same or similar issue?

happy riding!

Looks like the SW Update has helped, no issues on further rides so far.

As said if the affected indicator is left on it will normally reset itself, however on my last ride lost all indicators, no warning light, no direction arrows on the dash and no indicators at all.
Stopped the bike switched ignition off and restarted, all working again?
Have booked the bike into triumph, they told me they had a bike last week same issue, reckon they pushed on all the connectors and cleared it. I’m not convinced will wait and see what happens when I get my bike in to them.
In this condition the bike would not pass an m.o.t. Test, so to my mind that makes the bike un road worthy, not good for 11 months old

I also got the software update applied, I have been on 4 rides where it had thrown the error previously and all is good, anyone still having issues - get the software updated from your dealer.

Thanks for the info Mr Rocket. Even though that the recurrence of the issue on my GT has diminished significantly, I went to the dealer with the valuable info you guys have shared.

They checked with Triumph North America and they had no info about any update for the signals issue. In fact, they told me that the progressive lighting of the European Model and signals style isn't available this side of the pond and as long as we have daytime running lights here, the suggestion from Lutz doesn´t applies to us Canuks either.

I will install a Garmin Zumo connected to the socket cabling in the front, so I still need to discard the "pinched cables" possibility when I open the screen cover, I'll keep posting any finding for the common consideration and use.

stay safe!
