Here's the problem, I hope I can write this up properly

Using motorcycle controls for the lights everything was working fine.
Then this last week I noticed when I flick the switch left the rear left only
came on but both front flasher were going and the same results happened
with the right rear worked fine front both flashing ???

All wiring thoroughly protected first shrink wrapped, then encased in wiring
split plastic tube. No breaks, in junction box no wire nuts undone no frays splits
or cracks, replaced flasher module, no change.

Any clues?



P.S. these are manual switches and I haven't but should I use dielectric
grease there?

Bad ground maybe?

That's one of the things I checked it's a solid ground.

What puzzles me is that it's been working just fine for 4 or 5 months
and no wires were changed.

I'm starting to wonder if its not the controller?
what a pain it was to hook up the first time:(
I'm not a electronics whiz
 
Left rear doesn't flash when on.?

Both the rear flashes work fine and properly but whenever I use either
the two in front both flash together. and there is no hazard function
on the module I'm using

prior to a week ago everything worked as they should
and thx

Make sure it's not somthin simple, like a blown bulb. I did my own wireing on my signals.Didn't come out as purty as yours though, every time I have a problem it turns out to be somthing simple. (like a bulb or fuse.)

well thx fatdaddy I will check that
 
Does the controller have separate wires for all 4 blinker lights, or is it shared left and shared right?

I would have to think individual or the backs would both blink too.
That means either your front L and R wires are shorted together or the controller crapped on you.
No biggie, just tie the front L and R to the rear L and R and forget the front blinker wires.
