Hi guys, please help. My throttle side turn signal switch will ONLY work when the front brake lever is pulled!

Installed new bars with internal wiring. Pulled switch housing cleaned out and inspected wires. Can't see any bare wires.

Sorry to say that yours is a popular request after changing bars. There is a damaged or cross-connected wire in your rewiring. Check electrical continuity of each wire until you find the error. If you removed the pins from multi-pin plugs one of them may be in the wrong place, or if you extended your wires one may be crossed. In any event you simply need to doggedly check until you find the guilty party.
