Default rapidly flashing turn signal issue

Any idea what may cause a rapidly flashing left turn signal on 05 FLSTN? I replaced the bulb after the first one burned out, it still flashes rapidly as if warning of another issue. Also would like to know options and recommends for replacement fog/aux lamps. Thanks for your time.

  • is it both left turn signals flashing rapidly?
  • have you done anything maybe like turn signal relocation?
  • check under the rear fender where the turn signal wires come through the fender.
  • wires coming apart under the rear fender are common on this year bike.
  • swap your bulbs from left to right and see if the problem switches sides

LEDS perhaps? if so, it could be a load equalizer not functioning properly...
