09 FLHX turn signal problem

My left turn signal started acting up a few days ago. It will turn on by itself, and sometimes i can turn it off by hitting the switch, other times I have to cycle the right signal on and off to get the left to go out. After a few times of this, the left turn signal doesn't work until the bike has been powered off via the ignition. It's frustrating to say the least.

Any suggestions? If there's an easy fix that I can do, I'll do it, otherwise, she's headed to the stealer....

Take the left grip switch apart. make sure all is ok. Maybe there is something wrong at the switch.

I thought that too. Forgot to mention above that the switch will work to turn the flashers on.......

Could be anything, like a bad ground somewhere, or TSM/TSSM is shorted internally. Take it in.

Recent wash? Rained on?
Mine does that if it gets good and wet.

Not just the south, I believe that's any left lane on I-95.

I'll schedule a time to take it in. It is under warranty, I was just trying to eliminate the need to take it in is all by figuring it out on my own.

Nothing out of the ordinary has happened, regular wash and rain rides before this....we will see what they say

A bike is meant to get wet. Something is wrong there. Gap or hole.

The bikes under warranty bring it in, I would try anything. They will just turn it on you. I had lots of elec problems with my 07, they managed to fix some of them even.
