You say you removed the bulbs. Did you replace them with new good bulbs? It is possible for a portion of a bulb to go and screw with the flow of electricity and still look like it is working. Lot cheaper replacing four bulbs (1157 front 1034 rear) then replacing the TSM.

Have you done anything to the left side of the handlebar assembly. Maybe you have a pinched or shorted wire, or maybe a bad switch.

usually when you have weird things like that, it is because there is a ground wire not properly grounded somewhere in the system. before changing modules, check bulbs and check your grounds.
