I recently bought a used 2007 Kymco Grand Vista and love it but for one minor thing. All of the turn signals quit working last night. The fuses are ok. Is there a flasher on these things? The owner's manual is useless and I can't find anything on the Kymco site. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you in advance!

lueywy,

See if this link to another thread here is of any use to you:

...maybe this Service Manual (27.2MB in filesize, ZIP format) -- instead of an Owner's Manual -- will show you where the flasher is. I'm guessing that it DOES have one.

Good luck...

P.S. I glanced through the chapters (chapter titles are in Italian, but chapters are in English) but didn't see any COMPLETE and comprehensive vehicle wiring diagram, so I didn't see any flasher. Usually Service Manuals have a complete electrical schematics in them...seems absent here. It only shows the turn signal switch in detail, but says nothing about a flasher unit. Perhaps a different manual will...keep looking since we ALL -- besides having the small Owner's Manual -- should ALSO have our vehicle's Service Manual. Each chapter is in PDF format, meaning easy to open.

P.P.S I located this Service Manual (Kymco Grand Dink 250, AKA: Grand Vista) at another website, but it looks much like the one above...except that the chapter titles are in English, not Italian as the one above. Otherwise it looks much the same....and again, I did not see a full electrical system (complete with fuses. flashers, etc.) schematic diagram as I would expect to find in a Service Manual (SM).

Be advised it's a compressed file in WinRAR format so you'll need WinRAR to unpack/extract it. I went ahead and downloaded it and already extracted (unpacked) it, but can't send it you you in its entirety (in one complete file) because it's 25.9MB in size. BUT, each chapter is in Adobe's PDF format (like the other manual above at ScooterDiva) so I CAN send them to you in as individual chapters via e-mail...just give me your e-mail address.

CORRECTION: I took more time to look through the SM and have found the wiring dagram in one of the chapters in this Service Manual...it's in the "General Information" chapter. Unfortunately, whoever converted the SM into a PDF document didn't consider being able to READ it: The chapter text is just fine, easy to read, but the picture of the wiring diagram is terrible! It's there but hardly readable as the text is too small, and when you zoom-in it only gets harder to read. The diagram (a picture) should have been made/saved a much higher resolution, or as an attachment so it could be included in high resolution. It wasn't. I believe I saw the flasher unit there, but I'm not sure. Maybe you can look closer.

Still, this "General Information" chapter is good to have as it also has a Troubleshooting 'flow-chart,' which is very useful should you have any other isses with your Kymco GV 250 -- if this one is the same as your 2007 model -- or close enough to it!!

Whatever, if you give me your e-maill address (via PM here if you want for your privacy), I can send you the "General Information" chapter...and all the others, too, if you want them. At least you will have the wiring diagram...and maybe if you read through the whole SM, you can find something more on turn signals.

Sorry for all the additions here to this response...but that's how you work out these things sometimes...like a detective, you just have to plod along and track this stuff down.
