I have a 2005 Road King Classic and here is the problem I'm having. When I start the bike, if you look at the dash panel, the left turn signal light is illuminated, but the signal itself is not on. When I go to make a left turn and hit the signal everything functions properly. When I hit the right turn signal, both lights flash as if my hazard lights are on. I have not had time to take the dash panel off and start trouble shooting but I will today. What I am wondering is:

1) Has this happen to anyone else?

2) If so, what was the fix?

3) What are some things I should check?

 

That is kind of weird.I think I would do the easiest first.Remove your bulbs and clean ,dielectric grease the contacts on all four.See what happens then.Might even have a bad bulb,might try some new ones.Then take switch apart if still not right maybe a corroded contact in there.Let us know what you find.

 

Sounds like a bad ground at one of the turn signal bulbs to me.

 

The bulbs don't come on, until I hit the switch, but I will try that. And rememer on the dash panel the the left turn dosn't blink it's just illuminated. Now if I hit the left turn switch it blinks.

 

I've had similar happen to me. Like already mentioned, remove and reseat all of your bulbs. That's what fixed it for me.

you could be in the middle of a security code.

 

So I am thinking...These forum guys don't know what they are talking about, how would a bulb make my dash light come on? So I get the phillips so I can remove my dash panel and it hit me. Removing a bulb is way easier than taking the dash off and last time I took my dash off the rubber seal was all stretched out and was hard to put back on. I told myself next time I take it off I will replace it. So I thought I better try the bulb first and.........

I will never doubt the forum again.
