Question No brake light or turn signals

I also posted this in the touring section, but I figured I would put it here too. Went for a ride last night and bike was fine. As I made a turn to head to the house I noticed the turn signal indicator didn't come on. I pulled over and checked the bike, I have tail lights and running lights but no turn signals or brake lights with either front or back brake lever. And the hazards don't work. The lights fuse is fine and so is the brake light relay. I don't think its the turn signal module because that wouldn't affect the brake light and the lights flash when the alarm arms, and that runs through the tsm also. And I checked the bulbs they are all ok too. 2007 electra glide ultra, anyone have this problem or any ideas?

Well I got it fixed. Big thanks to Jerry at Fletcher's HD. He suggested I check the accessory fuse and sure enough it was blown. I don't know what the accessory fuse has to do with the turn signals and brake lights but what do I know? Now I just need to figure out what caused it to blow, but I have a feeling it is the LED accent lights I installed, simply because it was me who installed them

Glad you found it. Just looked at the schematic for my Sporty, and the "accessories" fuse does power the brake and turn signal lights. The "lights" fuse just handles the running lights.

Interesting, is that pulling the accessories fuse also causes my speedo to go dead, which leaves me wondering what the hell the "instruments" fuse does since the speedo is the only instrument on a Sporty???

Only Harley would consider the brake light a accessory! That is weird maybe its just the instrument lights?

Nope, without the accessories fuse my speedo is totally dark and dead.
Going to have to do some experimenting tomorrow and figure out just what it is that Harley calls instruments, I guess.......
