    Since I got the XS out of storage it developed an odd sort of an issue.

    My right blinker works normally. My left blinker does this odd thing: front blinks, the indicator light does not blink, and both rears blink at the same time.

    It's like the front left is running through right rear instead of through the indicator.

    And it worked fine before storage?

    Mice or wasps' nest in the headlight shell or under the seat?

    It could be in the switch pod, but I'm betting headlight shell (those are the only two places the front and rear blinkers have common connections.)

    The front wiring is not in the bucket - headlight is aftermarket. I checked connections, they seem clean and solid.

    I am puzzled.

    9 times in 10 when something is acting possessed it's a faulty ground.
