Default 2016 Iron 883 turn signal indicator not working

I just purchased a 2016 Iron 883 just 2 months ago. Yesterday I noticed the left turn signal indicator is not lighting up. The front and rear turn signals are working correctly, but the indicator on the gauge is not lighting up at all. Right turn signal and high beam indicators work fine. Not sure what to check first.

The first thing I would check is the warranty with the service advisor.
Damn thing is under warranty, let the dealer fix it.

before freaking out...

if they aren't sealed hd leds, transpose the front bulbs. the left one may have just blown out for whatever reason.

move the right bulb to the left and the left to the right. fire it up and test the signals.
  1. if the right still works and the left does not... there's a problem,
  2. if the left works and the right does not, the bulb just blew.

both will be covered if you play dumb at the dealer... "it just doesn't work, i don't know why... derp derp"

the indicator or dash lights in the speedo housing unit are individual LED's in a single unit and burn out. It should be covered by warranty & HD will replace the whole light assembly. My neutral light went out & that's what they did. They said you can't replace the individual lights you have to replace the whole light unit if one goes out

Hi, I have exactly the same issue on my 2015 Iron, unfortunately out of warranty. Did you figure out what the issue was?
Thanks for your reply!
