Could it possibly be the hazard flasher switch?

When the switch is activated it looks like both the right and left hand turn signal circuits are linked so they will flash simultaneously.

I don't know for sure, but that's what it looks like to me.

Looking at it closely, the green (top) wire connects to the orange (bottom) wire.

I think it is crimp or connector of some type joining the green wires together from the switches to the flasher unit.

I believe on your bike you have to hold the buttons in on the bars so no actual hazard flasher.

Unless I install a turn signal canceling module which I’m going to be, so basically on that part crimp the wires together, shouldn’t be hard to do.
