I have recently installed some signal lights on my sporty, wired them in according to diagram in service manual. the signals will not flash, but they do flash in the hazard mode, checked over several times to ensure correct installation. ?

Did someone before strip out the stock signal lighting? Maybe the turn signal module got shorted if they cut the wiring like cavemen.

I am not the original owner so im not sure, i believe they are stock lamps. Is it possible that because the new lamps i installed do not have a marker/running light, thinking a load issue ?
