Gentlemen,

Stumped by some malfunctioning turn signal symptoms:

Bike is a KZ1100A. Functioned normally previously then sat for couple months in the garage.

>Right directional lights stays on when selected and left don’t light.
>Left directionals Lights blink normally but at the same time right lights come on solid.

Been through it tickling connections and no luck. 

Ideas anyone?

It might be worth taking it apart and cleaning the internals (focus on the hazard switch first) a replacement may be hard to find new and any used ones are also 40 years old. Do it carefully over a large table so if you drop anything you can find it !!

Or in a large plastic bin - stuff can ricochet off of a table and disappear
