Help - No Turn Signals
I purchased my Fatboy in August and whilst bringing it home on the back on my friend's truck we went through an almighty thunderstorm and the bike got well and truly soaked. As a result my turn signals packed up first time I rode it (they was working when I purchased the bike).
My problem is, the bike was build in a custom shop and does not have a standard loom and I haven't a clue where to start to look for the problem.
The bike is in the Land O Lakes area and I didn't know if anybody can suggest either where I start to pin point the problem or a good shop in my area that could help me without ripping me off.
(I have posted this in the Electrical Problem forum as well)

I am thinking you checked fuses first? (you didn't mention it or anything else you may have done).
so I will hold off the 'check blinker fluid' comment for later.

I'd have to agree with Chuck.. start at the simplest and work your way to the wiring. If the fuse is fine.. there might be the slightest break in the wire somewhere that is shorting out.
When all else fails... THEN check the blinker fluid!

If all the easy things are fine, you might want to try and check for voltage along the wiring. If you use a meter and the dc voltage keeps jumping up and down, you might have a ground fault. Ask how I know..
