Unhappy Phantom signal lights

I have a 2008 Superglide Custom, yesterday while I was riding, the left turn signal kept activating every ten seconds or so, I'd turn it off and it wasn't long before it came right back on!! What the heck is going on?? lol Any ideas?? Also what should my air pressure be at based upon a single rider? Thanks for any help..Harley Chick

Thanks for the air info!! I have a power commander also, and Vance and Hines staggered exhaust! When I last went to the dealer for service, I got totally beat up for having a power commander, he said it will shorten the life of my engine!! lol He was really pushing the map chip that HD installs. Have you had any issues with yours?

Wow, that's a good one...

Did you change out the wiring controls/bars? You might have a pinched wire or 2 that are 'tripping' the directional. How about the codes, have you checked to see if it threw any? Use this link to check for trouble codes...

As Baeseman1 mentions above, sounds like you have a short someowhere.

What was the latest work done on your bike?

What electrical work and changes have been made, listed from newest work to oldest?

Did you wash your bike before your ride or ride in the rain recently?

My "6sp" indicator flashes every once and a while when I downshift (generally haven't even been in 6th). Not often, but I've seen it a handful of times.
