Question blinker issues

I recently upgraded to ape hangers on my 2001 fxst. After extending my wire and testing, all works great except the right turn signal. It does not respond to the turn button but if you switch the control from off to on the turn signal starts to blink and will not stop unless you hit the left turn signal or switch the control back to off. I've triple checked all my wires and connections and have found nothing. Also I replaced my bulky signals with bullet signals. Any ideas would be great and now with the rainy weather this is even a better time for my bike to be down.

I recently had a similar problem. Wired up new rear turn sigs. Left one wouldnt work at all after I was done, and right one would blink six times when I turned bike to run. Went back and sure enough it was my own fault. Wired some stuff incorrectly. I know you said you checked your wiring thrice, but I did the same and it was still my wiring. I tried replacing my TSM before I would go back and look again at my wiring. just some food for thought.
