Right Turn Indicator Doesn't Work?

2002 883R 7000mi
Both blinkers work fine but the right indicator light on the dash does not light up. I tried wiggling wires a little bit but thats about it. The book says there are no bulbs to change so I'm looking for advice.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure the 2 wires that slip into the rubber housing right behind the light are seated properly.

I most certainly does take bulbs and the part# is 68024-94 indicator bulb uses 5. I don't know what book you are looking at but it's wrong.

The owners manual didn't list a bulb for it so I figured it was led or something. I'll check it out. I'm gonna feel dumb if there is a bulb and I didn't even look

Just an update. I am dumb, it does take bulbs. Problem was not a bulb, it was a loose bulb connection. Spread out the contacts on both the bulb and in the socket and applied a little dielectric grease and the indicator is working for the first time since I've owned the bike. Thanks all for the suggestions.
