Default left turn signal indicator led light not working

Was riding my bike today (2012 Fat Bob) went to turn my left turn signal on and noticed that the indicator light was not working, but my front and rear left turn signal were on. All my other indicator lights work but the left turn signal. What is the chance that the led light in the indicator went out or could it be something else. I have already checked out all the wire connections on the bike and couldnt find anything. Any ideas

Swap your working light to the side that isn't working and see if it works on that side. If it does, your non-working one is not working! In other words dead. If the working one does not work then you have an electrical fault on that light unit. Could be a bad ground, loose or chafed wire.

Unfortunately it looks like its a non serviceable part and you'll need to replace the whole wiring harness. I'm going through the same problem.
I tried testing the light and seemed to of blown another light.
I spoke to Morgan and wacker in Brisbane and they advised me replace the whole wiring harness for $150!!!!! (unless you are an electrical genius and can work with parts that are about 1mm)
Good luck

All fixed now. I got a new wiring harness from a wrecked bike.
Happy to finally have it working.
It only took about 15 minutes all up.

Where did you find the wrecked bike? I've been looking but can't find any HD wreckers in or around Brisbane. Nothing on Gumtree or Ebay either. Thanks, Matt.

Had the same problem on my 2015 1200T Sportster. The actual left indicators front and back worked fine but the LED left turn light in the speedo assembly didn't work.On the later models you can't replace the individual LED globes. You have to purchase a new instrument?head light wiring harness.
I fitted a new harness and in the process of doing so, I found water in the outer plastic tube that covers the wiring harness and also water in the wiring harness connector located under the fuel tank.. So I can only assume that the water caused a short circuit and blew the LED globe. I have sealed the connector where the wires enter with silicon to prevent water entering the back of the connector.

Hope this is useful information for anyone who has the same problem.

Does anyone know what the part number is for this? My bike is a 2008 sportster 883 and I cannot find this part anywhere.
