Does anyone know where the 4-way flasher/turn signal flasher is located? The lights come on when selected but do not flash either for turn or the 4-way.
 
fun to get to
raise hood, get on the right side, look at the bracket that goes from the steering wheel to the frame at the top of the engine, it is the squared off aluminum block.
now look towards the hood stop (rubber bumper).
look down thru the gap between the block and the bumper.
you will see a blue plug with 2 empty holes and the rest of the holes have wires in them. that is the plug that the flasher plugs into, the flasher is on the other side.
the problem is that when riding in the rain water gets into the plug from the top, get a hair dryer or something to blow air into that plug, air compressor would work better because no heat.
blow into the blue plug to dry out any moisture, then try the flasher and turn signals, if they work you have fixed the problem
if that fixed the problem you need to take a glue gun and fill the holes in the blue plug so water can not get in there again
I had to do this and no problem since.........Kevin at TBMS informed me of this, Kevin is no longer at TBMS.
it is a pain to put pics on this site so send me a PM and include your email and I will send you some pics.

Thanks SilverDevil. I found it finally. Mine was really tucked back in the opening. I had to take the panal off below the steering wheel to find it. I see that it is subject to getting wet. Mine is all ready fried. Makes a buzzing noice when the turn signal is turned on but doesn't flash. I'll get another and then make it some what water resistant.

Thanks again,
