Question 2006 electraglide turn signal issue

right rear turn signal only comes on and dash indicator and stays on, sometimes by itself and sometimes when hitting a bump, will also go off by itself or after a bump! Wiring and conections have been checked from under seat to tailight,and circut board in tailight housing has been replaced!! All grounds have been removed and cleaned and secured! Any help would be appreciated! THX

It appears like there is either a loose, or a short connection somewhere.
I would check the switch first.

Try replacing the turn signal flasher before you get too deep. Just my .02 cents worth.

There is no turn signal flasher on any recent Harleys! All the turn and hazard functions are controlled by the TSM ot the TSSM if you have security. And this is not an easy or cheap throw a part at it fix.

Yep --- you're right! I guess I'm showing my age.

Are you positive the wiring harness under the rear fender is good? Had the same issues and found that my rear wheel had rubbed through the harness under the fender.
