Rear turn signal. Bulb lights up but does not flash
Just like the title says. I have a 2006 Street bob that I purchased from an insurance auction. The bike was laid down on the air cleaner side of the bike and the rear turn signal was smashed. I got the bike running using the handy search feature on the website, but I was unable to find anything to help me with this issue.
I bought a new turn signal from Harley and wired it up. When I turn the bike on both signals light up. However when I turn the turn signal on; the front one blinks while the rear one just stays lit. The other side works normaly. So I swapped the turn signals to see if I have a faulty one and the new on works when wired to the other side and the air cleaner side still wont flash. I have checked my wiring over and over.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem when I installed the front turn signal relocation kit. Once everything was tinned, soldered and wrapped up, I had a short or some such. When I wiggled the wires the light would either go off or stay lite constantly. Regretfully I have no solution, I gave it to the dealer to fix.

Thanks for the ideas guys I am going to try all of them when I get home tonight. Cant be the bulb since I swapped bulbs and this bulb worked in the other housing. I have not used a multimeter on it yet, but I have jiggled and played with the wires in just about everyway possible.
Could it be a problem with the connector at the brake light?
