Jim,
You have a "short" somewhere that is completing the circuit. I would
check at the bulb socket first and make sure everything is as it
should be and then at the switch. I seem to remember you have some
aftermarket toggles, so that might be the problem. Otherwise, the
signal circuit is pretty simple so I would check that circuit front
and back for where it could be picking up power.
Also... Are you sure that the flasher you are using the 3 prong
type? Do you have a 4 way flasher in the circuit?
