Default Left blinker indicator not working

Blinkers work but no indicator light on the cluster on the left side. Right side works fine. Just trailered through monsoon rain last week. It was working before that. I found a thread that said on later models, mines a 2015 RK, you cant swap a bulb and need to replace the whole wiring harness and possibly replace cluster. Is that the case? That would suck. If so any help with part numbers and install procedure.
I just got the bike and dont know my way around it yet yet.

Did you check the blinker fluid levels?

Do hazards work?

Start with bulbs. Switch them from left to right. Does the right side still work? Of course, you can swap a bulb. Wherever you heard that, it's just plain false.

Then check blinker relay... they're cheap, so just replace it.

Heres the link from this forum. I now have conflicting info. Anyone want to chime in on being able to swap bulbs or not on a later model bike?
The link tells me I NEED to replace entire harness.

I'm sorry, I misread your OP. Yes, sounds like a wiring harness. (For some reason, in my head, I read that the signals were not working but the indicator was... not enough coffee yet, I guess).

Indicator lights are Led. There’s no way to replace them individually.

The panel where your indicator lights are has a row of LED lights. One of them is burned out. I had to replace the whole string since it's one complete unit. It was $58 at the dealership.
I also rode through two days of monsoon-like weather coming home from my vacation. It worked fine before hand. Same symptoms. The signal light worked however the indicator on the panel did not.

Sounds like every time I get stuck in the rain or get stuck trailering in the rain I'll be replacing a wiring harness....wonderful

Local dealership wanted $74.

Got numbers off the harness tag.

For future reference there are several parts websites we can use - my current favourite is Dodge City H-D. Several on-line dealers do discounted prices for spares.
