Rear turn signal staying on like running light- any ideas? - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

I'm having a hell of a hard time with the wiring on this bike. I've just noticed that my rear left signal is staying on like a running light. Any thoughts as to what this could be? All other lights work as they are supposed to. The left side (front/rear) are flashing very slow.

Is that bulb in backwards? I had that happen on a car taillight once.

Check for continuity from negative battery post to turn signal casing (ground) to verify. Faulty connections from corrosion, bad terminals, broken wire, etc. can cause weird symptoms.
