Default turn signal problem

i am new here so please be patient! i am also a new hrly rider, i have an 06 sporster, i changed out the license plate and tail light, to the side mount kit, after going thru all the trouble of disconnecting the wires from the inter connector board which is in the tail light assembly, i finally got the tail light/brake light to work- and the left turn signal works, but the right turn signal stays on all the time, and when you hit the turn signal switch it will flash normal for three seconds then flash real fast until you cancel it out, now heres the thing, people have told me it was my bulb-i replaced all four bulbs,people tell me i need a load equalizer, i bought one still the same problem, i have switched wires around and this and that, i am now at a loss! unfortunately it is scheduled to go into the money barn monday, i was just curious if some one on here had a solution before i took it to the money barn(Harley dealer).


Thanks for your time.

I would say you have a bad ground connection on either of the signals on that side.
