    So I put this 1980 xj on the road yesterday after making one good bike out of two, And had about 38 miles of fun then wheeled in to home base. I then discovered there was no horn,turn signals,brake light,neutral indicator light when there just had been minutes ago.I then spent about an hour trying to figure it out,Replacing relays & breakers with ones from my parts bike. Also disconnecting & reconnecting plugs to no a avail. So today I grab my service manual ready to attack the problem & guess what......... Everything works now!! I,m just not used to things fixing their self. I,m not complaining either but am curious as to what it could have been. Has anybody here ever experienced this ?

    Check fuse holders and also ignition switch contacts may have some corrosion

    Pretty sure that's all on the signals fuse. OE fuses and holders should be replaced with extreme prejudice.
