Default Neutral Indicator Light Not Working

2008 Heritage - - all of a sudden the blue light does not come on when in neutral.

Any idea what caused this? And how do I fix it.

Thanks.

I'm not claiming to be an expert, but assuming that your lighting and wiring to the indicator is good to go, try checking to the neutral switch on the engine as a possible failure. IDK how you would do so, but it seems like a logical issue.

the light on mine is green
Did you check the bulb
the switch is on top of the transmission,
if it's 1 wire, put it in neutral, pull the wire and check for continuity to ground
if it's 2 wires, put it in neutral, pull the wires and check for continuity post to post
