Turn signal help

It should not, but it does make it easier to pull the conductor out of the connector. It could be you have some contact between conductors, you obviously have a bad connection somewhere and we are slowly narrowing it down. Hate to say it, but I would really need to see the pins to go much further.
Did the pins snap right into the body, or did you have to fight them in?

Another interesting note...i just tested only plugging one connector in at one time...for instance, the left side connector when plugged in to the left side produces a constant on.....when I plug the connector from the left side turn signal into the right side, i get the same result, a constant on!! Why would I get the same result on the opposite side?

The first crimp needs to be very solid and concaved to make sure. Do you have an VOM? Test the wires on the bike coming from power to see what you have. Black to Blue should be constant voltage, Black to the other color should fluctuate (blinker). If you connect the black from the light to the black on the bike and the Blue to Blue what do the lights do?
Then try the same with the Black and the other color.
If you don't get the response from the light as you should, wiggle the wires from the lights and see what happens, if it changes as you wiggle the crimps are bad.

honestly the crimps look fine. if you pull on the crimp holding the wire , its tight? then its making a tight connection. Now the wires you show above are comming from the light or bike? If they are comming from the light, touch the black to ground and the blue to a 12volt positive feed. The light should come on. THen the black to ground and violet to 12 volt positive. Again the light should come on. If these wires are comming from the bike side then just use a volt meter and like 8541hog said put the bike on and check the black and blue to a meter and you should get 12 volts. Then put the blinker on and use the meter on the black and violet and the meter should show 12 volts and then drop off then 12 volts then drop off signifying a blinker.
