Default Turn signals

Finally figured out where to post my Q.
SO; I've got a 2004 1200 Custom Sporty. The front Turn signals work. The fronts work with flashers turned on. But the rears do not. The rear flashers do not work either. I checked the rear bulbs and they are good. Fuses are good.
Any ideas? I can't see this as a big problem but if you don't know what to do, it's a huge problem. Thank you.

Pull the seat and look at the harness connectors and make sure they are snapped together. It doesn't hurt to unplug and plug. If that doesn't do it, check the wiring that goes under the fender to the turn signals. There is probably a covered wire and the wire has been known to unplug or break. Hope this gives you a start.

Right on, thanks for the help. I'll try, or start there.

Get yourself a test light or multimeter and start checking at the connector under the seat and go from there.

I seem to remember a similar thread a while back but it was for EVO's. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/evo-c...ker-fluid.html

I have a friend who is having the same problem with a 2005 Ultra Classic that has a trike kit. The front blinkers work fine but the rear do not blink. Perhaps we can exchange solutions to the problem once we find them.

I've checked the channel under the fender, looks great. Under the seat, the connections are solid. Baffling! I just can't figure it. I can ride with hand signals but not as safe as lights. I don't want to not be seen and hit eh? Thanks for everyone's a help!!
