The switch at the control.
But INDY didn’t agree.
Kinda leaning that way my self.
Since the problem began after a bar swap.
Right front blinker indicates turning. But it won't stay on run.
The obvious part of checking bulbs failed
It’s my wife’s 08 x bones. And I hope for my sanity it will be ready by

You make this pretty hard to understand...

Are you saying the front right running lamp in the turn signal is not working?

You replaced the handlebars and now your right front run light is inop but the turn signal works. Do both rear run lights work?

There is power to the normally open single pole switch via the orange and white wire. This is also paralleled to the brake light switch. Pressing the turn signal sends a high + 12 vdc signal (white/brown trace wire, pin 5, I think) to the TSSM/TSM out to actuate the signals . If the brake lights and right turn signal work, then I would not expect it to be the switch or handlebar wiring. From my experience and what I see on the wiring diagrams, I do not believe that there is a common circuit point between the turn and run circuits. They are completely separate control inputs sharing a ground.

IF the rear and left front run lights are working, then the problem is most likely in the connector or wiring to the right side turn signals. The diagram I am looking at shows the front turn signals have three wires, run (blue), turn (brown?) and ground (black). Trace the blue one back to the connector...I expect you will find your problem there.

Good luck!

If it is an running light problem, it has nothing to do with switch at handlebar.
