Default 14 street glide tail light

Switched to LEDs and shortly thereafter one of my signals is out (rear right). It’s not the light itself as it works when swapping with the left. I admittedly know very little about electrical. I know I may need to just follow the wires and look for obvious things but before tearing things apart is there something I am missing? Something simple and obvious? I have not tried putting regular bulbs back on, if that would tell me anything that is...

Did you install just LED bulbs, a module...what?

If just bulbs, it`s time to get out your voltmeter, or buy one.....

this is essentially what I got...similar to these. Nothing else was done, just replaced these with the normal bulbs. I do have a voltmeter but wasn’t sure where to begin. And for what it’s worth I replaced front and rear. All are fine except the right rear. Oh and the light works and comes on, just won’t blink.

Are you saying that both lights come on (front and rear, right side) but neither bulb blinks, with LED bulbs installed front and rear?

All four come on and the other three all blink. When I signal right the right rear simply doesn’t blink. Still stays on, just doesn’t blink. When I swap with another LED same thing. It’s always the right rear regardless of witch bulb is there.

I had the say issue and realized that some pins in the connector were bent. I was replacing the light bar itself though.

The front right side blinks, but the rear does not?

Put the regular bulb back in the rear, what do both bulbs do?

It stays on regular bulb and LED. In the picture it's regular bulb. I've since changed to LED and the same symptom.

Regular bulb in rear...

Turn on right signal.

What does front bulb do?

What does rear bulb do?

i put in the regular bulb. With right signal on front blinks and rear does not. Light is on; but does not blink. So it’s the same with either bulb. Also note the brake light does not work either. Left side does, but when applying the brake the right rear just stays the same...on but does not get brighter.
