Default Turn Signal Fail

I have an H/D Street 750. Yesterday morning, I noticed that the front right turn signal was not working. I popped out the bulb, and it looked fine, so I popped out the bulb for the front left turn signal and compared. They looked the same. I put the right bulb into the left socket, and the left bulb into the right socket, and they both worked fine.

This morning, the front right turn signal is not working again.

What needs to be fixed or replaced?

Thank you in advance.

Could be a loose connection, might be worth giving them a check. Check the wires, connectors and the bulb holder in the indicator housing. WD40 sorts a lot of my indicator problems too. Might be worth putting a squirt into the switch housing and giving the button a wiggle. If all that doesn't work then the next step would be to get hold of a multimeter for further testing.

Yeah, I'm not an electrician but I'd say it's probably a loose connection somewhere if it did work then doesn't after swapping the lighting. Trace it out. I believe it's the light blue wire with the black strap for the right signal.
