Default 2006 Super Glide Turn Signal Issues

I own a 2006 SuperGlide. The right side will not work on either the front or the back. The bulb lights up front for the running light fine, but not so much with the turn signal. I switched out all for the turn signals from the left to the right side and also the inidicator bulbs, but no luck fixing the prob.

Any ideas?

You probably have a bad connection or short in the wiring under the tank. And welcome to the forum.

Does the r/h indicator light at the speedo flash when you put on the turn signal?

What happens if you push both turn signal buttons to start the hazard lights?

Sounds if you have no power coming from pin 6 at the TSSM. Might be a bad connection as stated before, or your TSSM is malfunctioning. This can be checked if you switch out the TSSM from a friends bike.

Go here if you're looking for wiring diagrams (main harness and instruments & lighting)

Thanks for the input! When I start the bike the right side does not flash. The left side turn signal flashes and both front and rear work well.

Riding the bike yesterday, the turn signal started working for both sides front and rear. Later on the signal grew dim when I used it, and then quit working again!

I would try replacing all four bulbs...that has worked for me in the past when I had a similar problem.

After finally getting the bike on a lift, the problem was the rear turn signal wire had fallen out of the loom and the rear tire had rubbed through the outter coating. The bare wire would contact metal off and on. When the bare wire contacted metal, no signals. Wire is all wrapped up and back in the loom and signals are working great.
