Default Electrical Issue Any thoughts?

So here is my issue, 2013 FLHTK. When I turn on the left turn signal the hazard lights come on, but on the dash it looks normal. If I touch either brake, front or rear the hazard lights come on. The right turn signal works just fine. If I touch (apply) either brake the red Key (security ?) light comes on, any thoughts?

Did the problems start all at once or come on gradually?
Anything that may have precipitated the problem like voltage spikes, switch, handlebar, wiring changes or repairs?
Have you checked for trouble/engine codes?
How old is the battery?
Have you checked for clean and tight grounds everywhere?

Have you added anything that consisted of new wiring?

Sounds to me like there is a molex wired wrong.
