Default Speedo, odometer & turn signals went out

I was out last night and noticed my speedo, odometer and turn signals stopped working on my '05 RK Classic.

Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, can you direct me to the possible root cause.

Appreciate it!

Probably way off base here...but I would check your fuses first. If you have one out, replace and if it busts again then start looking at the wiring for anything rubbing and exposed that is causing a short.

I would guess fuse.
Check the most obvious first, if not, then work your way back to the fuse box from each of those points looking for a short.

Happened to me one night up in Lake Tahoe. We had been riding hard all day. All of a sudden, not speedometer, odometer or turn signals. It was still under warranty, so I took it in the next day to the dealer. It turned out to be a little box under the seat. I had replaced the stock seat on my 07 SG with a Harley solo seat and it had hit the little box and broken it dislodging some of the wiring in the box. Quick fix and it has never happened again and I'm still running the same seat with 48K miles on it. Hope this helps.

Problem solved! It was the 15A fuse located under left side cover.

Thanks everyone for the quick response and dead nuts virtual diagnosis! I feel better already because tomorrow, I get to ride.
