Default Turn signal problems
Ok, 93 Sportster left turn signal works fine. When I press the right side turn signal it illuminates but does not blink. I have changed all of the bulbs. I have checked the wiring and everythings seems to be secure. What makes the bulb blink and is there one for each side? thanks!

Have to ask but is the bulb you replaced good. Did you try swapping the bulbs? Sorry but I have seen bad ones out of the package

+1 on new bulbs being bad. Also make sure you
1. installed the correct bulb
2. installed it correctly.
After that It could be the turn signal module.
