Electrical problem

Hi guys! I'll try to make it short.

My blinkers don't blink, they stay on, unless I rev the engine, then they blink.

My headlight is weak, unless I rev the engine, then it lighten.


What could it be? A dead battery? A bad charging system?

Thank you

dead battery.

I would also suggest replacing the turn signal relay with an electronic one. The stock relays are therml and require a certain amount of current to make them work, electronic relays are much better.

Ok Thank you Cagie!

Could you point me to a good electronic turn signal relay? Can I find one on ebay? My local honda dealer? What exactly to look for?

Thanks again!
