Default Help Needed - Pic of connection

Throwing a mayday out. Just finished with plate and rear turn signal relocation on a 2016 Street Bob. Reconnected signals, but left turn signal will not blink or brake (front is fine).

Can someone shoot me a pic of your left turn signal connector so I can see the wire colors and how they go in the connector? Want to ensure I have this right.

Appreciate the pics. Looks like I put it back together correctly.

Everything works but left rear turn signal. No light, blinker or brake.

Fuse or bulb maybe?

I would think a build or ground would be likely. Not sure if it's fused or not but yea check that too. Might be a good idea to disconnect it and inspect the pins just in case.

Just an idea. Can you swap the left & right connectors. That way you can see if it's the left side wiring/hardware to the turn signal.

Had the same thing happen on my '16 LRS when i did the Great Bike Gear relocate. If I wiggled the wires, I could get the light to work correctly. Ended up I loosened the female connector up some when depinning. I took them out again and tightened them a tad with a pair of needle nose pliers. I put everything back together and the problem was fixed.

Ok, so I swapped connections, and left was lit but right was not. So the problem is not in the connection between tail light and wiring harness but somewhere past that.

Had to order the service manual as the shop did not have one in stock.

Back to fuse? Everything else works.

Any thoughts?

My thoughts are you came to the wrong conclusion from the result of the switch test. Check your connectors again.
