Sporadic Inop Blinkers (1 Viewer)

Anybody had sporadically inoperative blinkers on their HDJ? Mine stopped working just prior to going back to work last month. When I returned from home, they mysteriously worked again. Worked for a few days, and just last night stopped again. Going to try and trouble shoot in the next day or two. The wife is pretty pissed already as I’ve just spent a solid 5 days doing the BEBs, front end service and new springs and shocks all around. So, if I’m smart, I’ll give it a few days before diving back into a project.

Yep, I've had the same issue (front light only). Although I haven't actually fixed the issue, I haven't had it come up again for a few years now. I suspect it stems from corroded connections at the signal light. When I had the issue back in 2014 or so the first thing I did was check the bulb. The connection was (actually still is) so corroded I couldn't remove the bulb. So I bought a whole new harness to replace the whole thing. I actually need to buy a replacement housing too since I have a number of cracks in mine. Anyway, I haven't replaced it yet because it's been working without issue pretty much since then.

Start there and see if the connection looks poor.
