Hi everyone, first I want to thank all of your for your help here.
I tried the foil, changing bulbs, and as some said here, agreed it must be the signal switch, but life has kept me so busy, I didn't get to do anything about that til this week. Not doing my own mechanics, I never did take it apart other than the lightbulb.
So, Tuesday I rode the bike in for my spring tune up, oil change, and whatever else is needed at 24000 miles, plus my NYS inspection. I asked them to check it out for me. They also thought it was the signal switch. I had no appointment, and they didn't get to my bike until Wednesday. As it turned out the signal switch was fine, but they traced the wiring and found a cracked wire somewhere along the circuit that needed fixing.
So, all is right 8) with the world again, and "Special Ed" is now in tip-top shape for the riding season. 8)
Thanks again, I hope all of you are getting back in the saddles and having fun.
Gerry
