Default Blinker trouble. :icon_rant:

Went for a ride today to the dealer to get some stuff for an oil change. On the way I noticed my left blinker wasnt working. When I got there I pulled the bulb and it was bad. Got my oil and stuff and a new bulb, put it in and still didnt work. Got home and started checking stuff. Statred with the wires around the rear plug all was good, next pulled the console and that was good, then pulled the seat off. There was the harness that goes to the rear under the fender. 2 wires cut and 3 others chaffed bad. Got the soldering iron out and fix the cut ones and tape the others up. So now my blinker works and so does the finder light that never work sence I got it in Jan.

Moral of the story: check your wireing harness once in a while.

Good for you inj finding the issue. Wiring can be a real PITA, and it's no fun paying a shop to trouble shoot. All is well
