Any suggestions or ideas?  

None of my turn signals are working (left, right, front, rear). Hazards are not working either. I rode in the rain a few weeks ago and thought a few had blown...well of course no fuse (at least that I could find) so replaced the turn signal solenoid. Still not working. Starting to think ACM but wanted to see what others thought before going that route.

Isn't there a relay for them. Silly but check battery cables. Did you use a meter to check the fuzz or eyeball. Meter is best.
Use some dielectric grease or Vaseline or wheel bearing grease to prevent water shortage

I meant I replaced the relay (but said turn signal solenoid), which did not help.  

All other electrical is working fine (radio, HID, windshield, cruise, etc.). I'll check the cables but not sure that would be the problem given everything else working ok. I don't think there is a fuse for the turn signals, there is just the relay.

Could a wonky bulb possibly cause something like this?

Open the switch housing and see if every thing looks good. Maybe you have water in it. Spray some WD40 or a like
and see if that does the trick

There is no ACM on an 09, but there is a fuse. You need to check ALL of your fuses

As Kevin points out, you have to check everything simple first.  If you don't know wires, find someone that does and give him the wiring diagram.  Not sure what would make them all go out except maybe the switch box.

Also, my understanding is NEVER use Vaseline or regular grease on plastic, it's petroleum based and will cause your connections to decay.  Use the dielectric stuff.
