    On my cluster gauge, it would be the left one..It is dimly lit you can tell only @ night...I was riding home from work last night and I noticed after I shut the left blinker off. It stays dimly lit...i assume this is a short or some thing in the bike..prolly did nt get it all back together right...Im no good with electronics so I guess this is good as any time to start..Sooo Any and all suggestions are appreciated...Thanks in advance ridz

    Does it stay lit while the rest of your cluster is illuminated? Maybe some light from the rest of the cluster is "bleeding" into the turn signal indicator, making it appear to be lit?

    Good call Joe.

    The "Dividers" for surrounding Instrument Cluster Lights are often just some cardboard or dark paper.

    If it slipped-out of the socket or just deteriorated ... It will look like that light is glowing too.

    You probably just need to do a complete flush and refill of your blinker fluid. Redline makes a great synthetic - you'll find it on the aisle next to the Iridium plugs. Be sure to get the system bled properly before attempting a full turn, though. I've seen what happens when air bubbles get trapped in the lines, and it ain't pretty.

    Do they keep it next to the elbow grease at the parts store?

    Nope, they are in the back near the muffler bearings.
