Right Handlebar switch

Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

Right Handlebar switch

Post by RandyN »

I started my 2005 1200RT last night after sitting for the winter. It started and ran fine. I pushed the BC button and the engine stopped. It owuld not restart nor would the satarter work. A further check showed that none of the right switches woulld work. That included the starter, BC, Heated grips, heated seat, right turn signal and turn signal cancel (the left side signal light would not cancel). The abs braking servo was still audible when the brake handle was pulled.
I checked and no codes are showing.
Any guidance on where to start?
Thanks
Randy

Sounds like you will need to clean the button and wiring contacts
