RTV Turn Signal Flasher

[ItBmine]

Anyone know the location of the turn signal flasher in a 2020 RTV-X1100C? It's not listed in the owners manual and I didn't see it in the fuse panel?

I went to move my RTV and noticed that if I turn on the signals or the 4 way flashers, all the lights and indicators just stay on solid. I'm hoping it is just a bad flasher or bulb and not mice chewing a wire.

Found it. $122 usd for that little relay! I only paid $300 Canadian for the whole turn signal kit!
Covid...THE LICENSE TO STEAL.
Guess I better see if my B2620 has the same relay and swap them first to make sure that is my problem.

Other than maybe a bad flasher, would anything cause this to fail considering I rarely ever used the turn signals?

Just want to look for any underlying issues before I replace because this flasher module is almost $200 here in Ontario.

First world problems.

Well that's good advice, but instead of using my hands I just ordered another whole new complete turn signal kit for $300 versus paying $200 for just the flasher.
At least I'll have a spare switch, wire harness and light assemblies.

@mikester solution would definitely work, but likely it is the flasher.

On my RTV, the 4-way and turn would sort of "warm up" making a creaking sound before actually doing anything. I found a used one on ebay for about $60. There's quite a bit of stuff on ebay for the RTV's but like anything - hit or miss.

We are now legally allowed to drive our plated and insured ATV's and UTV's on the roads and I thought that the turn signal kit would be cool. I priced one out and thought hand signals are good enough for me!

Sometimes I pretend I'm a BMW driver and ignore using signals altogether

I was all set to order a whole new kit. Why would I pay $200 for a relay when I can get the whole kit through Wholegoods for $300.
But today I saved myself $300. I took relay apart, worked my magic and works perfect again. Then I mounted it properly this time, not weep hole harness side up like dealer did.

@ItBmine

Not being much of an electronics guy, I'm curious what that magic was.

You've given me cause to open up my old one rather than a BFH repair!

There's a serious amount of SMT on that PCB for a 'relay' ! It's really an electronic 'flasher'. Depending on how it's wired, an 8$ flasher might work in it's place.
Once cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, 3-4 light coats of clear nail polish will keep the moisture out.
