Turn signal install issue. Need Help

So i just installed the HD bullet turn signal kit on my 08 RKC. Everything went well. I started with the rear ones and they work fine.

Put in the front ones just fine but now the left side turn signal stays lit when the bike is on.
If i turn on the ignition and/or start the bike, the left turn signal is on. Not flashing, just on. The flashers still work correctly. When i use the left turn signal it flashes, but when i cancel the signal, it stays lit. WTF.

The right side and the rear ones are fine, they only come on with the turn signals and they flash correctly, its only that front left one...and i went through my wiring, and its good, atleast i think. Its only 3 wires.

Please help, I am at a loss.
Thanks
Josh

Sounds like you lost the ground. Take the lens off and check continuity from bulb socket to chassis.

Correction, apparently they are supposed to be lit when the bike is on. So that means the right side is not working correctly. All the blinking features still work properly but it doesnt stay lit.

Still a ground issue?
