Rear signals

Hey guys,

I recently noticed that the rear signals on my 82 kz750e are not working. After a quick look, the ground appears ok, because the tail/brake light runs off the same wire. I just ordered a new set of signals, so I haven't done a thorough check yet. I was hoping someone might have some insight as to the issue.

Questions:

1. Front and rear are on the same or separate fuse?

2. Could the issue be at the control switch, or is it an inline circuit?

3. Are maybe the bulbs both blown on the rear?

4. Anything else you can think of?

Thanks,

Normally, the front turn signal filaments are hard wired to the rears (left front/rear tied together, right front/rear tied together). If the front gets power, the rear should too unless the wiring is damaged. So, they normally share a single fuse. Check bulbs first.
