Since it worked for a while after you redid it, I would think fixing the tire fraying issue and repairing the wires would get you going. Might want to slip a piece of tubing over the wires for additional protection from tire rubbing.

I am having a problem with my turn signals on the 1986 CMX 250. The front left bulb is dead. The Front right, back right and left lights come on but do not blink.

I will check the bulb to make sure that is not the cause.
Check the connections and fuses to make sure every thing is nice and tight.

If that does not get it working, then what. For example, where would I find the relay? tell if it is bad, get a new one. These are not covered in the manual I have.

I believe if one bulb goes out they all stop blinking. Just replace the bad bulb and all should be good again.

Usaly with one bulb out, the rest blinks FAST.
Usual things that can cause these symptoms are, Bad ground, Bad connections, Low voltage and possibly a bad relay

Thanks 88nightrider. I know how to check for a bad connection, but how do I check for the rest of the stuff?

If you can get your hands on a multimeter (can read volts, resistants (ohm) and usaly ampere too).
Then you can measure the resistance to ground (dont know how many ohm's tho).
And the voltage by measuring the contact points either in the bulb socket or where the turn signal is connected to the weiring loom when you try using the turn signal.
Hopefully someone knows how to determine a bad relay. I dont

that is o9ne of those meter things with the two probes that tell you if there is electricity going from one to the other points, Yes? I think I have one in my tool box, if I can find the tool box

Hehe. Yes
Hopefully you got more then just a voltmeter

Happy toolbox hunting

Mine recently did that and all I did was wiggle the bulb and they came back.

Kick the rear tire 3 times and pour a little sea foam over the turn signals lol
