Question No brake light or turn signals

Went for a ride last night, when I left the house everything was working. When I made one of my last turns home I notice the indicator light on the dash didnt flash. I pulled over and checked the bike out. I have a tail light and all my riding lights but no turn signals front of back and no brake light with either brake lever. No error codes on the speedo. Checked to brake light relay and its fine. Is there a turn signal relay? If so where is it? Any other ideas? 2007 Electra glide ultra. Thanks in advance. Service manual was very unhelpful had limited info.

Just developed the same problem a few days ago during a ride....turn signals, brake lights and cruise went out at same time after stopping for coffee. My bike is still under warranty so calling the dealer tomorrow. Apparently there is a switch under the brake lever that I've heard commonly goes bad that can cause both??

Please let me know what it turns out to be! I am stumped, going to check the tsm connection under the seat but I have no idea how it could have come loose. But other than that I am out of ideas. Thanks!

Aren't there fuses for brake lights and turn signals?

i just had an issue like this....no turn signals, no indicator. After checking a ton of things, it turned out to be a bad turn signal module. Replaced that and everything was back in working order. Now, i created my issue by causing a short when I was putting things back together....not sure the TSM would just go bad randomly on its own.

just keep in mind if all else fails.

Thanks everyone. No fuse just for the turn signals, just one labelled lights and it ok. Also they do flash when the alarm arms itself. Don't know if that rules out the tsm but also I don't think a bad tsm will kill the brake light, but I could be very wrong electrical stuff is not my strong point!

Could be either the front or rear brake switches or you may have a burnt out bulb on one of your signals.

probably true...when my TSM was bad, the brake light was still working.

Ditto about the switches. Same symptoms & ended up having to get both of mine (front & rear) replaced on my 08 SG.

lowered bikes can chew up the wiring inside the fender ( as can a blown tire or road debris)
