Hello all, my name is Stan. I reside in Texas near Houston. I recently purchased a demo Massimo Buck 250X just to cruise around in (first time owner of this type vehicle). Something I missed during purchase was checking the functionality of left/right flashers. Once checked, I discovered they do not work. I replaced the flasher rocker switch with the exact same factory switch. Once I did, the flashers lit up, stayed on solid, and do not flash. I then suspected it could be the relay switch. I've followed the wiring harness front to back, searched this unit up and down, and having the hardest time locating the relay switch. If anyone knows where it is, please help. Thanks.

You say it's a Demo unit so I would call the dealer who sold it to you and ask them where it is and also what's up with the issue. You don't have to trailer it back to them just ask some questions.

Mine didn't come with them so can't help you there but, in theory, it should be under the dash or the hood to keep it out of harms way. Sometimes they will be in the fuse panel also.

 -Usually- you can go to the manufacturers web site and down load the manual and such.

 good luck on your mission.

Turns out the relay switch was missing. As stated, it was a demo model, so they probably removed it and gave it to another customer or whatever the reason. They dispatched both a relay and switch and I received them the same day. Plugged them in and my issue was resolved.  Hard to find something when it isn't there...OMG!

Yeah, sometimes you think you're going crazy when they do that. Makes sense tho, instead of making the person wait for parts just rob the demo and hope you don't forget to order a new one.

That was great of them sending them to you. I would still see if their website has your work manual to download, save more head aches down the road.

I have both the owner's and service manuals. There was a part number and picture of the flasher relay in the manual. Problem was it didn't depict the location and/or actual size. So, I had and idea of what I was looking for, just not where or true size. All is good now. Thanks for your replies and suggestions. Much appreciated.

 Wish I would have done that years ago for some of my vehicles and toys, after looking for manuals for some of my older equipment and manufacturers no longer having the manuals I try to get them as soon as possible now when I buy stuff..

Have fun

My guess is knowing Massimo, they never installed it in the first place, that won't be the last problem you have.

Well. So far, so good.
