Default Electrical goblin? Indicators won't blink

Any suggestions for diagnosing an electrical goblin in the electricals of my indicators, which receive power but do not flash/blink? I have a 1992 FXR. The module under the tank is functioning. The front and rear indicators (non-LED) get power, they light up orange, but do not blink/flash. A recent change is that I removed the Kuryakyn run/turn/brake LED taillight and replaced it with a stock run/brake light. The run/turn/brake controller that came with the Kuryakyn taillight was taken out at the same time, so maybe that is disturbing the electrical load somehow? I have a Dakota digital guage installed and the turn indicators on the guage still function.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

When I had an FXR same year as yours a 92 I had the same problem it turned out to be the flasher unit itself that had packed up.

Had the same problem on my Softail. Turned out to be a broken ground wire. Check that the socket/bulb connections are clean. Another think to check is the bulbs. Try new ones and see if that corrects the problem.
