Turn signals don’t flash

On an 82 LTD are the turn signals supposed to flash? Figured they are supposed flash, but mine stay solid. The fronts flash, but the rear signals stay solid and don’t flash. I confirmed the bulbs are correct. Anyone ever come across this? What was the issue or fix? New relay?

Maybe the flasher relay.  Also, if the battery is weak, and your charging system isn't putting out good juice, the flashers won't flash.

Did the rear lights ever flash? If they did flash before...what changes have you made to the bike?
Do your rear bulbs have two filaments or one?
Are any of the bulbs led? 
Do the sockets for the rear bulbs have two center contacts inside or one contact inside at the bottom?
Are the rear turn signals on all of the time or just when your switch on the turn signal?

They were solid not flashing when I got the bike a year ago. I’m gonna check all this thx!

Are they supposed to flash too is what I’m wondering as well.

All vehicles turn signals are designed to flash to alert other drivers of your intent to turn or change lanes.

Check your wiring against the diagram (flashers are green and grey) how many wires on your flasher lamps (2 or 3) does your bike have the self cancelling function? Does your bike have hazard warning lights?

10-4 I’ll check all this. Thanks for confirming they are indeed suppose to flash. Didn’t want to start chasing down something that wasn’t broke. I find myself throwing up hand signals too though. Feels natural to do so especially when someone is right there on me.
