I don't know how to edit posts so i am posting this follow up. I had originally assumed that a resistance measurement of ~6 ohms to ground meant that the wire was shorted but I am thinking that that would be normal. I measured a new bulb and got just under 3 ohms across its element so I guess my ~6 ohm measurements were normal.

So does this correction imply that a faulty switch is the only likely cause? I hope not, since I just replaced the switch. This would me my old switch and the new switch are both bad.

So you can with a jumper wire check each one of these wires individually for lighting with a 10 amp fuse (max) inline between your source and the circuit. Your numbers look ok to me so i suspect your new switch is either bad or you've somehow got a miswire in the disconnect.

It just dawned on me that I never updated everyone with the issue. After chasing my tail for a while, I basically gave up. Then...

I pulled the fuse panel off to address a separate issue with my radio. I rechecked all my fuses while I was working on it (they were all fine) and low and behold the turn signals started working again. I remounted the fuse panel in triumph and went to bed. The next morning I started up the car and the dang turn signals stopped again. After more debugging, the issue was simply corroded connections in the fuse panel. 10 seconds with a wire brush and the problem was solved. Feel a bit foolish, but at least I have a two extra turn signal switches and a spare set of bulbs now.

Thanks,
