Default Left Turn Signal Issue

When I turn on the left turn signal the emergency flashers come on instead. It does not happen when using the right. The only thing not stock electrical is the Kuryakyn Panacea taillight and turn signals which have been on for about two years.

Anyone else experience this?

I would probably take and crack open the left handle bar control housing and try it, might be wires touching.

Probably need a load equalizer.

I have a 2011 RG, the left blinker would come on by it self and then the switch would be unresponsive. I would need to engage the right signal to cancel the left. Turned out to be a bad left signal switch
