Default 1 front turn signal not working..

hey guys just ended up getting a 2013 softail slim and have been playing around with it. I’ve noticed that in certain positions my left (if I’m sitting on the bike) turn signal light won’t go on if I sit the bike straight up but if it’s turned slightly the light and turn signal will work perfectly. The bike does have mini apes on them with the wiring ran inside so I’m thinking maybe the wire is getting pinched? Any ideas? Thanks!

A pinched wire or one that has exposed insulation would be the first place to look. Start with the harness along the neck since it's easier access than inside the bars. Also check the wiring and connections in the turn signal switch housing.

If you have the service manual, use the schematic with a DMM to find the culprit.
