Default HD Digital Gear Indicator troubles...

Hello. I have a Digital Gear Indicator part number 70900038 on my 2011 Street Bob. Recently it has stopped showing what gear i am in but it now lights up "BN" maybe it says "8N" nevertheless my local HD shop is about 3 weeks out so I was wondering if anyone has any info on this problem. It doesn't seem to effect the way the bike runs or anything but its kind of annoying to look at. Thanks for the help!!!

I'm far from being a tech, but i can give you a link with where i buy my gauges and my accessories if you ever consider buying a new one. That's the most i can do

www.kosonorthamerica.com

Seems like they also have a thread in vendor classified now with phone numbers etc..if you need informations.

I hope someone can help you out!!

If you read the reviews on the Harley site you will see it’s a common problem. Sounds like they are prone to failure.
