Default FXD gauge back light stuck on
Hello - have a 2010 FXD. Went out to the garage this evening after a short ride today and noticed my speedometer gauge light is stuck on with the bike shut off. Any thoughts? I played with the trip button hoping something was going on there with no luck. Also a few rotations of they key in the neck ignition without any luck! Last attempt was disconnecting the speedometer itself. After re-plugging in the speedometer back light is still on and fully illuminated even when the bike is properly shut off through the neck ignition..

Did you wash it? Mine did this because the switch got wet inside. Dried out and worked fine ever since.

I did. Hoping that is the case. I usually take pretty good caution around the controls and don't generally overly soak that area of the bike. We'll see if all is well today!
