Thus far I really hadn't left my subdivision. Mostly because it was just so loud I was afraid of attracting unwanted attention of the red and blue lights variety...
I had it running in the garage and my neighbor came over and gave me this. He didn't care just wasn't using it and thought I might haha.
Anyway. That gave me a little more confidence so I took it out for a good 20 minutes this afternoon. I wanted to see if I could get the fan to come on but it never got above 178°.
Good Lord this thing is freaking fun!! It reminds me a lot of riding my dad's racing quad when I was younger. Immediate response, immediate brakes, and because there's just no weight it goes exactly in the direction you point it in. I even goosed it in a corner to see if it would break loose and haven't been able to so far.
Well I'm one step away from cutting out the turn signal stalk and hard wiring everything. My stupid BCM is not allowing the turn signals to work. I have tried adding resistors (since the lights are now all LED) and I've replaced the turn signal stalk. I know the wiring works because I can apply voltage directly to the wires and turn signals light up on front and back.
The one thing that might be the missing link is I have no idea where my hazard light switch is or what it plugged into. The blinkers should work regardless of the hazard switch but Im just wondering if maybe its an open circuit with no switch or something.
Here is a photo of the Hazard connector three wires black/white stripe -ground, grey wire runs to the instrument cluster connector -should be the back lighting and the white wire runs to the blue connector on the BCM as shown.
The arrows don't flash. But I have found a way to mess with the turn signal stalk and have the signals flash. When the signals flash the arrows on the dash flash as well. So I know it's talking. It's very difficult to explain I sent a quick video to Adam because I just didn't know how to put it in words. I thought for sure it was a resistance issue but I went out and bought LED resistors and that didn't help. Next I hooked up incandescent bulbs thinking it still might be a resistance issue but that didn't help either.
I really need to get the service manual. But Its just so hard to spend $300 On it.
BCM are probably fairly cheep at a salvage yard. It would be worth getting one to test. One out of an automatic may work but it would be best to find one from a manual car.

Do you know how the turn signal switch actually functions? I'd like to play around with bypassing it at the flat connector mentioned in your first picture this morning. It appears to be a pull down to ground signal switch. Am I reading that correctly?
So it turns out I had my hazard wires bundled up and taped off. I ended up finding the hazard switch and plugging it in. The hazards work! And both arrows illuminate on the dash as expected. I thought for sure this would some how fix the blinkers but nope.
Also I do not have parking lights or Hi beams wired up. Is there any chance it thinks the bulbs are all burned out so won't turn the blinkers on? I read about something like that on one of the cobalt forums.
I did have them all hooked together into my headlight earlier and it didn't change anything. But that's before I found my hazard circuit
The goblin we are testing on is only up to first stage. We have not hooked up any lights of any type yet.
The turn signal only works when the key is on.
The only way we know the turn signal is working is by the arrows on the cluster.
You should try jumping from pin g or h on the turn signal plug to the negative post of your battery. This will eliminate a possible ground issues.
