Default gauges out

My 05 Road Glide guage light has gone in op after only 1500 miles. Is this a normal occurence and is it easy to fix? I have heard about the fogging problem due to condensation etc. Any input will be appreciated.

Is the light out on all gauges or just one of them?

I would say that any gage light that stops working is a bad thing. I have had no problems with the lights in the gages on my Ultra. Same gages as yours just a different fairing.

Use your warranty and get it fixed soon.

Good Luck.

I'm riding a 99 and no problems to date with lights of any sort. I'd say get it fixed under your warranty, must be a misfit, lol....

Yes, you do have to remove the fairing shell, its a real pain the first time you do it. Once you figure it out its not bad, lol... Definitely let the dealership take care of it. Ask if you can watch them remove the fairing, there is a trick to it. Best of luck.... T
