Hi everyone I'm Jake I've been here for a small while now just reading a few threads here and there trying to learn a thing or two about modifying and tuning up/repairing my vento triton R4. My turn signal relay and left rear turn signal have been broken for a while now and I recently replaced the relay and ordered new rear turn signals. I installed the new turn signals and everything worked fine; however when i turn on the right turn signal it turns on both the left and right rear turn signal but only the front right turn signal like normal. I looked at all the wiring and checked it and it seemed fine to me nothing was touching where it would make the two go off at the same time as far as I could see. Does anyone know how I could possibly fix this problem?

 So if you use the left signal, do both rear signals light? Has it ever all worked since you've owned it? |

no the left turn signal works completely fine and normally and yes it worked normally when i first got it, but then the left rear turn signal bulb went out, and then the relay. It's weird the only explanation I could come up with was that the relay was faulty? I ordered it from partsforscooters.com I think
Also another issue that recently arose were my rear brake cable. It recently snapped and now I have no rear brakes. Does anyone have any suggestions for a website that might have the part, with good shipping and good reviews?

You can pick up cables cheap on eBay sometimes, just gotta measure your old one so you get the right length. I'm not sure that the flasher would do this. The flasher should be tied in with the turn signal switch. The turn signal switch routes the power out to whichever side you choose. Both sides should be totally separate after the turn signal switch with green/white wires to the left side and green/black wires going to the right side lights. I thought at first it could be a short between the two sides somehow, but then all 4 should light when you hit either signal. Try checking for continuity between the left and right side rear wires anyway. Should be continuity on each of their grounds (black), but none no matter what you do with the switch between the green/black and green/white. If there's no continuity between those wires, then we need to figure out where the right bulb is getting power from. If there is continuity we need to find where their paths are crossing.

You could make it work for the electrical, but it has no spot for a brake lever and switch like your stock unit. Compare your connections and look 'em over, but I think the choices here may be better replacements. Parts For Scooters part # 260-44 is $13. Parts For Scooters part # 159-6 appears to be the same as above, but includes the brake lever and switch for $34. If you do decide to go with either of those, code "STILLSUMMER" will get you 10% off till the end of the month. |

sweet thanks so much man! I was looking at several variations of those, but I just couldn't find any black ones that are like my original one. Only those blue and red plastic ones are all I could find for that low of a price at least.... I guess I could just paint it after all or leave it lol. Edit: I ordered the turn signal and brake cable both from partsforscooters, however now I'm thinking I should've ordered and rear brake drum Part #: 161-18 and Master Cylinder and Brake Lever Mount Part #: 159-55 as well considering that the plastic on my mastcylinder, where you are supposed to view the fluid level, is cracked/cloudy and leaking and also the fact that I broke my brake cable by using a drill to tighten my rear brake spring. I was thinking that maybe my rear brake shoes are just worn out by now as I don't believe they have EVER been replaced, which would make that about 6 years I think and about 130,000 mi. UPDATE 10/6 So I got the parts in the mail, and sadly both of them seem to not fit exactly as the OEM parts would for this triton R4  The brake cable is barely long enough and is tight/pulling out of the socket. The wiring for the switch that I got was completely wrong and I had to rewire it completely. I got everything to work except one problem is I can't get the high beams on and the lowbeams are ALWAYS on no matter what switch I use to turn it off unless I switch it to the High beams which are not on or connected I guess? I need some help here if anyone has any clue how I can get the right side light control switch to work again and also the new switch on the left side for high/lowbeams. Another thing about that switch I ordered, is that the hole for the brake hand/brake switch socket wasn't bog enough so I could use the back piece and had to make the oem one fit with this there is a huge gap though now and I'm sure water can leak in so I'm not going to leave it like this for long. |

You might have a bad ground wire bad grounds can be bad news and continue to blow bulbs and relays check the ground and make sure it hasn't rubbed itself raw anywhere just in case better safe than sorry

You should have a wire that crosses between the L and R switches. Mine was Yellow/Red. It powers the hi/lo switch on the left side. So power comes into the off/running/headlights switch. When you switch to headlights it lets power pass to the hi/lo switch. The hi/lo switch should simply choose one path or the other to send power to. One side of course being your hi and the other being the lo beam. Should be a blue and light blue wire coming out of the hi/lo switch in most cases. Sure the high beam isn't burn out? This may help.  Just a note. If you have updates, it's best to post again in the thread rather than edit. That way it tells folks that have read the thread already that there are new posts so we know to check in again. |

So I was wondering would I be able to use this?
