Unhappy No Right Rear Turn Signal

My right side rear turn light will not work, the socket was broke so I bought a new one it did not fix the problem? so I bought the entire turn signal bracket assembly wired it in , I have full time running light and the front turn signal works but the right will not flash i even tried changing the bulb any suggestions?

go back over your work.

If you have a lowered bike, the tire may have chewed up wiring inside the fender

Factory wiring diagram would be nice. There is a connector under the seat that connects the main harness to the tail/turn harness. Check there for power to the right signal would be my next check.

Have you used a voltmeter to see if the socket gets voltage when the turn signal is supposed to be flashing? Checking the wiring harness under the seat is a good suggestion, but a voltmeter would be very helpful.

have you changed the bars lately? or taken off the switch housing on the right side and smashed the wire when you tightened it back up

If you have a rear fender tip light, unplug it and try that. Harley has had issues with feed back though the fender tip lights. What model bike do you have?

When you say it won't work, are you saying it comes on but doesn't blink or doesn't come on at all?

Ok thanks for all of the suggestions, I unplugged the constant ON brake module and now my turn signals work. So lesson learned just because the socket is broke does not necessary mean it is the root cause ??? I should have looked for a simple solution before I replaced the entire turn bar
