Title: P250 rear turn signal lights
Post by: skyguy on October 14, 2010, 05:13:13 PM

Hi, guys!

I hate to seem so stupid but I need to replace the left-rear light bulb in my 2007 P-250.  Removing the screw from the front of the lens didn't do a thing.  So how do you get the blasted light bulb out anyway?  (Okay, I never said I was a mechanic!)

Thanks for your help,

Bruce

Carefully take a small flat blade screwdriver and remove the lens cover.  There is an area with a tiny rectangular notch where you're supposed to put a screwdriver.

Thank you, Pedro.  That makes sense.  I'll see if I can find the little slot you're talking about.  I appreciate your help!

And thanks for the welcome as well!

Welcome skyguy, if you have a look around you should be able to find a link to a free download of the service manual.

Thanks, guys!  I've been looking for the service manuals but couldn't find them.  I really appreciate the help.

Turns out the problem wasn't the bulb, but a corroded connector.  After some minor work, the turn signal is working just dandy.  The fellows at the local scooter emporium took the bike apart and corrected the problem -- but didn't charge me a dime.  I love scooter people!  They're a lot like airplane people.

By the way, are any of you active on scootforum.com?  I registered yesterday but have not received my confirming e-mail and cannot find any way to contact anybody there.  Can anyone suggest something that might help?  I've never seen a forum where you couldn't get in touch with someone for help, but I guess scootforum might be the exception to the rule.

Thanks again,

Bruce

That  link above should take you to a folder full of P250 links... every service guide, wiring diagram and the owners guide for the P250 and P250S (in the back of the service and wiring guides).

I have not used scootforum. I am active here, ModernVespa, ADVrider and MaxiScoot.  This place is up and down.... but I try to support the P250 and its siblings when I can.  I don't track on the little scoots and anyone looking to race or over modify.  I am a scooter commuter and reliability is my primary focus.
