I am having the same issue on a 2005 FLHRCI Road King Classic. Basically the left turn signal comes on when I start the engine. It will not cancel by pushing the left turn signal button. However, if I push the right turn signal button the left will go off and the right will start blinking. Sometimes, this same action starts all four signals blinking (like the emergency flashers). It is very erratic. I have Kuryakan pancea rear taillights and brake light. The brake light went out so I went a bought a new brake/taillight with a new adapter. Brake lights work now but the blinker problems happens whether the back lights are connected or not. Front turn signals are stock.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Intermittent problems can be the most frustrating thing. This can take a lifetime to solve or a few hours depending on whether fault shows itself when working on bike. More than likely it will be a leaky turn signal switch. Problem caused by owners using pressure washers and power washing the hand controls etc. forcing water into switchgear. Power washers should never be used near electrical parts or wheel bearings as water will be forced passed seals causing corrosion and eventual failure.

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix front left turn signal went out, I replaced the bulb and the light comes on but the turn signal still doesn't work. If I have the lights sent on automatic the right parking

Hey I literally just today had the same problem, put a new bulb in the light was on but did not blink!!!! SUPER EASY SOLUTION, you simply have the bulb in too far. I gently pulled mine out a tiny bit and it started working fine... guarantee that's all that's happening to you!!!

2005 Dodge Caravan right turn signal doesn't work..only the left does??? Help

Simple fix took me five minutes:
1.Gain access to the fuse/relay box thingy under the drivers side dash. It has a black plastic cover and two big black plastic screws, which don't really require tools.
2. turn on ignition and engage turn signal that is not working.
3. There is a module (cube shaped relay thingy at the top right of fuse-relay panel) Move it around, pull out and back in to re-establish connection. If your signal starts up, then that is it.

1995 gmc K2500 left and right brake lights come on with ignition turned on. 3rd brake light comes on when you step on the brake 4 way flashers do not work. Ignition turned off 4 way flashers and brake...

I think your trouble is in the turn signall switch, just had the same trouble on my truck. Turn signall switch is about $250 because it is actually turn signalls, wipers, washers, 4 ways, and dimmer all in one.
