Default Neutral light on when too hot

I have a 00' FLHRCI with 11500 miles on it. I noticed that when the bike gets really hot sitting in traffic, the green neutral light flickers or stays on steady on any gear. has anyone experience this problem? It just started doing it, I'm also running full synthetic oil. [sm=dontgetit.gif]

thanks
george

My neutral light went south, had the dealer put in new bulb, that was not the answer.
I had them put in a new neutral switch and problem solved[8D]
The switch was only $15.00

If you disconnect the wire at the switch, you can rule out the wiring in the harness as a source of the problem if the light does not go on, then it points to the switch itself.
