Default Signal not working.

Hey guys, I just took my 2011 roadking out for a little ride and realized that my left front and rear turn signal is not working. My right side works perfectly fine. I tried to check the 4 way by pressing the left and right signal together but my left side doesn’t work but the right side does. The left side lights work when the alarm kicks in for the bike so the bulbs are in good shape. I’m thinking that maybe it could be the turn signal button? If it is does anyone know what to look for and how to fix it. Thanks guys

Update

i checked the wiring and everything seemed to be connected and in good shape. I ended up pushing the turn signal with more pressure on the button and it worked. I still think it’s the button. Has anyone else had this problem?

I had a similar problem a while back. A member here suggested that I spray electrical contact cleaner up into the holes in the bottom of the housing to clean the switches. I tried it and it worked! Give it a shot.
