Turn signals and tail light died on 2011 SB, any ideas?
I was out on the bike last night and I realized the turn signals had stopped working. They were still on (running lights), but no blinking. The indicator on the dash also no longer indicates turn signals are on, though other dash lights appear to be fine. The tail light and brake light are also no longer functioning.
Bike is a two-month old 2011 Street Bob with about 950 miles. I havent gone out yet this morning to try and figure out what is wrong. If anyone has suggestions on what I should look for or ideas on what the most likely problem might be your help would certainly be appreciated.
Rear wiring harness shredded under fender and grounded out on the frame. I just had this happen a few weeks back and had the same symptoms. When wiring grounds to metal it will pop the fuse for the lighting too.

i did that too. right after i got it and installed rear turn signals... weird. that little hook inside the fender DOES serve a purpose.

Thank you Drew and all that replied, you are right the tire damaged the wire under the fender. I recently installed a sissy bar that involved removing and reinstalling the signal. I must not have got the wiring back where it belonged. Thanks again guys.
