A problem on the blue wire doesn't explain the horn and brake light not working or maybe I read your first post wrong. Do they already work?

Just glad it looks like you've sorted it mate.I also love reading the wisdom that gets written by those in the know on this forum.It's good to know we are in safe hands

Do they already work?Maybe there is more than one issue? Den den den!!!! There must be a problem that's stopping the 12V feed in the right handlebar switches. The signalling circuit is the 12V feed into the switches that's why I was suggesting it. When he put 12V on the blue wire it must have gone back through the light switch and powered the horn and the brake lights. I bet if he put 12V on the blue wire and turned the light switch off the horn would stop working
It most likely will sort it. When you put the new switches on you'll have to open up the old ones and show us the problem!
Dang it! Try putting a wire from the positive of the battery to the brown wire in the connector going to the right handlebar switches. Leave the connector connected together. Tturn the ignition on. Does everything work now?

So I could run a new wire from the signalling fuse and join on to the brown in the switch loom to by pass the bad connection?
You jumped the gun buying the switch until we were finished diagnosing. Removing the switch and checking it was always what should be done before buying anything, however I thought you you said in a previous post that you had power from the fuse. The good news is that I need a right side switch for a Fazer with a broken kill switch (he dropped a piece of wood on it and broke the red part that you press on the switch) and will happily take it off your hands. PM me with the costHad to run a wire on a bandit yesterday with a similar issue to supply the light power, would have preferred to find the break but he was going on holidays for 2 weeks and will have to wait until he returns.As the brown runs backwards and forwards on the loom the problem is probably close to the fuse. You could try lifting the fuse holder and checking it or see if the wire pulls off the back of the fuse holder. You should be able to see it and/or get at it from the right side. Running a wire should be a temporary option as finding the issue is the safest option.
Just a tail of woe that I encountered on a mates Triumph Tiger last month.Had an MOT, & riding home lost lights horn everything, but kept running.I checked through the system & found it must be ignition switch. Removed screen, top faring, headlights,+++So after removing switch, out of interest I stripped the wires back. (nothing to loose) wires were apprx 14" long, as went into frt faring to junction box.Two broken wires inside the sheathing, but touched as you turned the bars, so MOT worked at that particular time.I repaired the wires, re-soldered, refitted. All good.
Ha Ha.Yes I do agree, but this was an old one,(2001) so more like a cub!!!Look at avatar, Main bike , Triumph Tiger. Its the 1050 Sport.
