Blinker corroded, aftermarket not working.
05/14/16 at 14:15:48
 
So I noticed my running light on 1995 savage works but the left blinker and the brake light is out.  The blinker is out due to corrosion and I just happen to have an aftermarket blinker but it isn't closing the circuit like the OEM it appears.  Can u use a different blinker?

Is your aftermarket blinker an LED?

The stock flasher unit doesn't know what to do with an LED.....you need to switch to a solid state flasher if you want to run an LED blinker.

Other blinkers will work. Will they All? IDK.
But, if it works for one side, should be just as good for the other.
Clean up the corrosion.
Check bulbs.

Thanks for the quick responses.  It turned out to be a short right on the main plug coming under the tank from the hand lever.  I pinched it when putting the tank back on and it wore out the insulation against the frame.

I'm gonna pinch my blinker wire and see if I can ride upside down too?  Maybe that opens up a special portal or something, kinda like what Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right B, A, Start did for the old Contra game.  Grin Grin Grin Grin
