Default Turn signal blinks when started.

I have a 05 Road king classic and just had the 1k service completed. It went in without a single problem and came out with two. The spot lamps were not working and was corrected by routing the connecter right so it would not unplug itself. Now when the bike is started the left turn dignal starts flashing. Than I have to turn on the flashers than cancel them with the right switch. After that I have no left turn signal at all. Another dealer took a look at it and even replaced the ecm and same results. Even bypassed the Kuryaken module for the brake/turn signal conversion, same thing. Can anyone help?

Try this proceedure and see if it brings up any codes https://www.hdforums.com/m_66685/tm.htm


Here's another test you can do for stored codes https://www.hdforums.com/m_43975/tm.htm

My 07 Ultra Clatter does the same thing, it is the left turn signal switch itself, HD is aware of this issue. Take the bike back for warranty.
