The ignition switch sends power directly to the flasher unit.....the wife then goes to the left handlebar switch. When the turn signal switch is moved, the circuit is then completed to either the left or right signals......and a small wire is part of the wiring harness and it carries the power to the indicator panel.
When the left blinker stays on....is it both the front and rear - and does it blink or stay on steady? Is the indicator light on the panel by the speedometer also lit?
