Default Turn signal malfunction

I have a 95 883 Hugger. I was swapping over my coil last night, without any problems. This morning I went for a ride and my left turn signal isn't working, but my right is working just fine. The wiring and bulbs are both good. I am getting power to the switch. I also tried jumping the wires on my turn signal module, but all that does is make all of my lights go dim when I hit the switch. I am getting 12vdc at the module. Do I just need to replace the module?? Ideas?? Thanks alot!!

Under the tank close to the coil (you just changed), is the plug that connects the turn signals together. Check to make sure you did not pinch any wires, or partially disconnect the harness.
