When I put on my turn signals now the front ones work fine but the rears don't come on at all, instead the tail light blinks!  So I decided to do the turn signal switch cleaning maintenance, but that didn't help.  Anybody know what causes this situation? Thanks.

The first place I would look is the electrical connector under the rear fender. There is a small metal "box", where the rear half of the fender meets the front half, that protects this connector.  It is possible for the rear tire rub on the box and possibly damage the connector/wiring.

Hey thanks for the tip.  So I just popped open my little fuse box pushed down on the fuses and bingo that was it!  That was after I started messing around with all the wiring back up under the rear fender to make sure it was grounded.
