Just to add, wiring diagram for turn signal. You can see fuse--multifunction switch--flasher. You might be able to use jumper wire to bypass flasher, proper wires, the turn signal bulb should burn, but, it won't flash. Now if it will burn where it wouldn't before, I would suspect the flasher. Just my opinion.
