Left turn signal on when turning on ignition???
Left turn signal on when turning on ignition???
I have a 2003 Night train FXSTBI. When I turn the ignition on, the left blinker is already flashing. When it first started happening, I could press the left turn signal switch and sometimes it would turn off. Other times I would have to hit the right turn signal to turn on the right signal and then hit the right signal again to turn it off. At random times it would turn on while riding and I would have to cancel it using the right signal. Now the left turn signal switch doesn't do anything. I always have to turn on the right signal to cancel the left one. However, it doesn't turn on while driving randomly. I have changed all the bulbs, checked for moisture in the sockets, and have even pulled apart the left turn signal switch and soaked it in WD-40. Still doesn't work.
Could it just be the turn signal switch? The local HS shop tells me it might be the TSSM.
Has anyone else experienced this? Would anyone have the wiring schematic?
Suggestions?

Do the lights work like they are supposed to when you turn on the hazards? It could be that the switch is defective or the turn signal module is defective. Sounds like a switch of the hazards work fine. Double check the wiring while you are at it. Stuff can get rubbed through and cause all sorts of gremlins.

You mentioned having security? If so, different part.

I haven't had the bike on all day. I went out to check it and the left turn signal worked for a few minutes, then the gremlin hit again and now the left switch is dead again. I cannot get the hazards on as the switch is not responding. The right turn signal operates correctly, and always has.

Could be something as simple as the turn signal switch intermittently shorting or the insides falling apart. That's kind of what it sounds like.
