dead lights

I have a 2000 electra classic and dilemma is my turn signals and brake light stopped working for no reason that I can find. I have checked all my fuses and relays and they all seem to be fine. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

did you lower your rear end ?If you do check, underneath you fender it could be some broken wires in there, this common when using those lowering kits . I've seen so many of those . if not check all connections. also if you got turn brake park module .those thing also go bad,,good luck

Did you replace the fuse? I know you checked them...but sometimes they break in a way that's hard to see. I've had them break in the thick part under the thicker plastic that's not easy to catch.

Also check the forward wiring harness for the lights. That was the cause of my problems.

Miastery:
Thanx for your help on the fuse issue. I went back and checked the fuses again and with the help of a meter I found the culprate. I looked real close and still can't see where it was burnt but it was and is subject to a well placed hammer (lol) .... Thanx again bro ride safe and peace :-)
