After powder coating the cobra light bar on the tourer and everything put back together blinkers and driving lights all work except I ran into one problem, when I push left turn signal the rear left works however the left front go out along with both spot lights, the right turn signal works fine and driving lights stay lit. When I cancelled the turn signals all light come on as they should. Spot lights and front turn signals. Any help is appreciated . Thank you

Hey Rue.....you know where I live buddy. I'm cheap too, just ask Rita.  Seriously, we can run it in between the 1200 and the Valk. Lots of room. |

The turn signal switch removes power from the running light filament on the selected side, at the same time connecting the flasher to the signal filament, so the connection from the switch, through the orange wire, to the bulb is suspect. Why the other lights would go out is a mystery, unless you powered them from the left running light switched power, which is orange/white, instead of the lighting power wire, which is brown.
