Default Turn Signal on with Ignition Key - doesn't work afterwards

Guys, when I turn the key on, the right turn signal goes on and stays on indefinitely if I leave it. Only way to turn it off is to hit the left hand turn signal to turn the left signal on and off. If I hit the right hand turn signal to turn the right one on, it doesn't do anything. Anyone have any idea about this one? Right hand turn signal housing malfunction?

Thanks,
Andrew

Sounds to me like a problem in that right turn signal.
It could be stuck on and that's why it turns on with ignition and then since its already stuck down that's why you cant use it.
Do you park and store the bike outside? I'd say take that switch apart

The weird thing is, I can get the hazards to come on still. Always parked inside.

Hazards are a separate circuit on a separate switch. That helps point towards the right turn switch, if the rest of the circuit works and you lost control of the switch...

Default Turn Signal Problem

Have you changed the handlebars out lately ? Possibly a pinched wire.

Nope, haven't done anything to the bars lately. Did have the fuel gauge come a little loose out of the tank, but popped it back in and was good to go.

So odd thing is is that I can get the hazards to some on sometime, but not always. the other day I got them to come up right after I started up, but after about 10-15 seconds of turning them on and off, they wouldn't come back on on the right side. If it was just the switch, wouldn't that prevent the hazards from coming on too since the right switch wouldn't be activated when pushing the button?

just a suggestion, is your turn signals dual filament? If so, sometimes the bikes do funny things when one of them is out. It could be as simple as a $2 bulb change to fix the problem. Worth a shot.

I couldn't tell you for sure, but I know my running lights are on. I can swap left and right pretty easily tonight.
