Turn signal problem

Im having an issue with my turn signals. The right side works normal. The left side will turn on, but wont flash at an idle or mid speed, but if you get on it, it will start flashing. Its not the relay, replaced that, same issue. Im confused as im not the best with electrical.

Try cleaning all the connectors in the harness for the signals. Just had this problem the other day with a buddys 250. also make sure all the female connectors are snapping tightly to the male end. If not a little gentle plier action on the female connector will resolve loose connections.

You could also take apart your blinker switch and see if there is corrosion on the contacts. Kinda sounds like the left side is only letting enough juice through to light the bulb, but not enough to pull for blinking.

Found out the problem. The left front bulb socket was just a hair loose, causing it not to flash. The vibration at the high speed rattled it just enough to make it flash. Funny how stupid little things like that can cause so much confusion, lol
