I think that my turn signal relay has gone out. My left turn signal is solid and my right turn signal blinks. I removed all of the bulbs on the left side thinking I had a short of some kind, one by one, with change. Has anyone ever had this problem? Also does anyone have the part number for the relay?

Sounds like it could be a ground issue, check your ground wires in the headlight for starts.

Forget the OEM relay. Get an electronic relay for 10 bucks from your local auto parts store.

You could also try cleaning out the switch under the handlebar housing..

This would be my first fix attempt. The old dry grease can cause many weird symptoms.

Okay first off..

The right side works fine, flashes normally.
Left side does not flash, but light stays on.

correct?

If so, rule OUT a bad RELAY... ( there is only ONE relay, so if works for 1 side and not the other its not the relay)


You have a grounding issue, either bad bulb or corrosion in the socket or else where...

..
I would swap the left side bulb with the right side bulb... Front is an 1157 and the rear are 1156.
Dont try new bulbs at this time..

Does the problem stay on the left side or did it swap to the other side?

please reply back.

If it's the front, replace the bulb if needed. Did you check the bulbs, that's usually the first step.  Front and rear bulbs are different from each other, will not work right if switched. I agree with the previous post.  Hoser  ???

Check your bulbs, then clean up the handlebar switch as was mentioned by Jack B and sandy,, I have had those same symptoms and the switch was causing it. The washing out of the switch fixed it for awhile, then I needed to do it again at a later date.
