Default No left side turns signals????

Got a buddy with a 1998 Softail Custom ....Says his left side turn signals quit working...Right side works fine...left side totally out. Any ideas on where to look or what to do?

My guess is the TS switch itself on the left side went bad. Possibly just a bad connection there or the contacts inside the switch...IMO.

Check the bulb and bulb socket before you tear into too much. Sometimes you get some oxidation on the bulb or socket that restricts conductivity. Or, you could just have a bad bulb.
