Look at the wire bundle where it crosses the fairing brace ...it will rub there.
Code b1124
I have an 08 Ultra, I am getting trouble code b1124 "Right turn output short to ground" and the right turn signal does not operate (will flash when security system arms). Code will clear but comes back as soon as bike is powered on. I replaced the turn signal switch but that did not help. I've been trying to trace the wires looking for a worn/rubbed wire. Any input? Does anyone know of a common place you get shorts in this circuit? Thanks.

Did ya try replacing the right side bulbs ?
Also the code is generic. If there was a "short" the light fuse would blow.
I did check all the wire bundles in the fairing, no luck, I did change the bulbs (actually put the right side bulbs in the left and vice versa). I did think it is odd that the code is for a short and no fuses have blown. My search continues.
Did you trace the wiring in back also, looking for worn places ????I did check all the wire bundles in the fairing, no luck, I did change the bulbs (actually put the right side bulbs in the left and vice versa).

I'm systematically tracing everything, working from the front to the back. Just a very slow process.
I would double check the wire harness that's clamped under the front master cylinder.
That's a harness pinch point that gets pinched often.
Also you can disconnect the right switch housing connector inside the fairing and check for shorts and opens on each terminal in the connector to the switches.
When disconnected none of the connector terminals should read continuity to ground.

Thanks everyone for your help. I finally found my short. It was in the light socket for the front turn signal. Would not show up with an ohm meter when the bulb was out. When you put the bulb in and compressed the spring the wire shorted.
That would be a tricky one to find!
Can you tell me what you used to get the error codes? I do not have any diagnostic tools for my Harley....

Thank you Kainam... that is very cool. Never even knew this was something that could be done without some sort of diagnostic tool...
Just saw your post 03SoftailStd or I would have responded sooner. I see Kainam got you taken care off.
