Default 20012 Dyna Switchback console light issue

Hi new member here. I just picked up a 2012 Dyna Switchback that has the speedo with the tach in it and lights in this unit and in the console come on briefly when you turn on ignition switch then go right out and won't repeat until a long timeout. So I have no hi beam indicator, no turn signal indicators, no neutral light, and no back light in the speedometer. I have checked all the connections many times without finding anything. Other than this the bike runs great! Any Idea's, any Tech's out there?

Thanks for the info. I have been leaning towards the speedometer as it starts very good and the battery cables are tight. This speedo/tach unit has been revised 3 times since someone changed it on this bike so maybe China didn't get it right the first time. Not sure if the ABS is working with all the lights doing this. At $319 for the nonreturnable speedometer I want to be sure it is the source of my issue.

Agreed, I would want eliminate all other possibilities before replacing the speedo.
