Signal Light Help

nyraised
I am having a problem with the left signal lamps. The right ones front and rear work fine. On the left side the front does not loght at al, and the rear stays on steady with no flash. I checked the bulbs and they are good. Are there 2 seperate relays for left and right? Any help would be appreciated, its getting warm here and dont want to spend too much time in the garage instead of on the road...Thanks.

Some bikes do have two flashers. However I would check with the bulb, then check, for juice at the socket, and trace back from there. However I would bet it is a bad ground.

Probably a bad ground.

I have never seen a motorcycle with two signal flashers.
Which motorcycle was that?

Try switching the bulbs front to back I have seen bulbs that looked good and were indeed bad or was just not getting a good contact. Good luck
Simple if some one else can, why can't I

Already tried the switch bulbs, but you guys were right on the money, It was a ground wire that had come loose..problem solved and already riding!!  Thanks so much.
