Question:

How can i fix my brake light and signals on my motorcycle?

My lights were working fine a few days ago. Then I turned on my bike and noticed my running rear tail lights weren‘t on my bike is a 1995 Honda shadow vt1100. The only thing I notice is one of the signals(left) the wire got wedged between the bolt and fender rail leaving it exposed from wear and is metal on metal could this sole wire be the cause? If not where else should I check to trouble shoot?

Answer:

I don't really understand your description, but sort out that wire and see if it fixes the problem. Other likely causes: burnt out light bulb(s) burnt fuse loose wire
Maybe use the blanky in another way like cut it up into a piece that can fit under his pillow or attach a piece to a favorite stuffed animal. My firend said she cut up a little piece of the blanky and would let her son carry it around in his pocket. Just some thoughts. I don't have any ideas for the binki though that's a lot harder.
I would not worry about him packing his blankie, my son packed his with him almost everywhere until he started school, a few weeks before starting kindergarten, he was told that the blankie had to stay home while he was at school. He even took it with him on sleepovers at his buddies, and no he never got teased about it. It has had to have several repairs and patches put on it, the most recent repairs were last Christmas. :-) He still has his blankie, he is 20 years old now and it is folded up on his pillow most of the time now. I would wash the blankie when he is sleeping. Sorry I have no suggestions on the binki though. I also packed a blankie until I was 6. So I have never had a problem with kids packing blankies.
yes if the insulation is worn off and that wire is finding a ground by touching metal than that is your problem.
Check your fuses and bulbs, also make sure all the wires are covered up and not shorting. You can normally visually see if a bulb has blown, by looking for a break in the connector wire inside the glass. You can also use a volt / multi-meter to test it.
