Plate light not working
I have a 2016 street glide special and led plate light is not working. I tested the light and it works fine, it appears that there is no power going to the light. All the other lights on the light bar are working. Normally I could care less about it, but I cant get my bike inspected until its fixed. Any help or suggestions would be great, thanks.

First thing to check , would be the connector under the seat , like you stated , you have power , so check under the fender and make sure there is no damage . Next remove the rear brake light cover and and check the connection behind the main bulb , you'll see a panel ( # 16 ) , also check the wires coming from under the fender into that panel .
Hopefully this helps you out , good luck !
Oh , and welcome to the forum .

There's also a connector near the bottom of the rear fender that is exposed to all the road dirt and debris. The wire going from under the seat to the bottom rear fender connector may have come loose and rubbed on the tire. You'll need to lie down and look up under the fender.
