Angry Lighting Issues

Hey everyone, , need some help if anyone has any ideas> 2006 FLHXI riding the other day and the guy behind stated I had no left rear signal light. When parked I checked quickly unplugged the LED and plugged it back and my initial thoughts were the LED unit was bad. When I checked the problem the next day to further look into the problem I now have no park lights in the rear, left signal still not working, right rear signal working as before. Headlight and both front signals work as intended. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced. Tom

What do you mean by park lights in the rear?

The lights are aftermarket?

Do you have a run/brake/turn module installed?

I have replaced the Tail Light, and front & rear signals w/ Custom Dynamics lights along with Custom Dynamics Signal Stabilizer part# Gen2-sshd which has been working flawlessly for 3-4 years now. I have removed the stabilizer and no change with issues. Thanks

Inspect for wire damage under the fender.

Does the bike have a back board behind the tail lamp for power distribution? If so check power is getting there first.

Get out the voltmeter and see if you have power to the bulb holder(s).

Quick hit for the indicator is to swap with one that works.

Non OEM lighting impossible to troubleshoot over internet.

Ya guys thanks for all your assistance, blinker issue was a bad connection in the led bulb socket adapter. Cleaned it up and all is working. Parking light issue was a bad Custom Dynamics taillight. They’re sending me a replacement under warranty. Thank you!
