Default testing TSM for burnt/fried module
Is there any way to test your sportster turn signal module to know if it is partly fried or all together busted???????

Yes. It's outlined in the Electrical Diagnostics Manual.

No. There are 17 pages in the ED manual for TSM/TSSM diagnostics.

If you have the wiring diagram, you can see which wires are the input from the t/s buttons, just check for power when the button is pressed. If there is power input but the lights don't come on the module is probably bad. You can also un plug the connector and apply power to the output wires to see if the lights come on or not. There should also be a wire that supplies constant power to the module. If you have power at all 3 inputs and no lights work, replace the module, the one for your bike should be about $50 at the dealer.

I found this, don't know if it will help. The part# for the ED manual for your bike is 99495-01.

You're better off buying a real one. Harley does not do downloads/online orders anywhere. Anything not physically in print is a copyright infringement.
