Default Any ideas?

2008 Street Glide - Went to start it up this morning and when I engaged the ignition, my turn signals began flashing intermittently (left, right, left, right, etc.) and the starter would not engage. Anyone experience a similar problem or have any ideas what might be causing this?

You haven't spent any money lately at your local HD. Go buy some chrome, then she'll run!

Might as well change your fob batteries while your there but don't forget you can override the security with your access code via the turn signal switches.

The alarm is not turning off which is most likely the key fob battery.

I dont think there is any kind of warning on the fob battery. Happened to me once, luckily in a Target parking lot! Sence then I just replace every year on my B-day.
