I had an amp pin in ( in my case ) the main wiring plug that was not making a connection. The wire was in the plug but, when I pulled on it, it came right out. In my case it was the right side rear blinker not working. Different bike and all, but FWIW.

Thanks. It's one of those things where I keep scratching my head and saying to myself "it was just working a few days ago, what happened." LOL.

Check the air pressure in the front tire... or maybe the washer fluid is low! LoL! Hope you get it pinned down Drew! Good luck!

I finally got around to testing the rear signals and they are both getting power. One bulb is blown for sure, the other looks okay. Who knows. Cycle Visions plate on the way!

You guys are going to love this. All that hullabaloo about nothing. Guess what? My bulbs were both burned out. I laugh at myself in front of everyone.

Thanks for letting us know the cause. Why were both blown? Do you suppose they both blew at the same time?
And I will laugh with you, not at you.

I don't know. I have really crappy single filament turn signals with no ground. I think maybe the shaking from it being on the Dyno for 3 hours the other day. The voltage was fine at the signal, nothing to indicate any chafed wiring. I fixed all the chafed wires last week.
