Default Turn Signal Issues?

I own a 2001 FXDX and lately while riding my right turn signal randomly comes on and will turn itself off if i ignore it, I removed the seat and while the bike was running I tapped the wire bundle beneath the seat and whenever i made contact the right turn signal would come on until I broke contact with it. I checked all the plugs and wires and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
I've also noticed that usually at 15 minutes or so into riding the problem seems to stop and the right turn signal no longer comes on by itself, I have also noticed that the turn signals both flash when I turn the ignition but I'm not sure what kind of error this is telling me?
Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

open up your handlebar controls and check there also. Sometimes the wires get pinched in there especially if they are internally wired. I've had that happen

I don't think it's that as it was happening even with the handlebar controls disconnected/isolated.

More than likely its a loose/worn connector at the harness under the seat where you already started trouble shooting. Disconnect the connector, and reconnect it, maybe add some dielectric grease in there to help snug things up a little.
