Default Problem with the bike...need advice

I have a 2011 Electra Glide. My wife and I were riding home today and we hit a railroad crossing really hard. It felt like we bottomed out and I noticed immediately my cruise control stop working and my engine light came one so I pulled over and did a visual of the bike and I didn't see anything. After starting the bike up again, the engine light went off. I continued the rest of the way home (about 10 miles). After I got home, I noticed my turn signals don't work at all. My tail and brake lights work but it won't go bright when I hit the brake. And my cruise control light on the dash does not go and the cruise stop working.
Before I take it the to dealership, I thought I would seek your input. Do you think it could be multiple fuses blown, broken wire or a harness?
Thanks! Brian

Sounds like your rear tire got into the wirng harness when you bottomed out.

It could be any of the above.How much air in your shocks?2 up and loaded down you should have upwards of 50#s in them.

i'm with bberck, sounds like you bottomed out and your rear tire caught the harness.

Cruise doesn't work and brake lights don't come on... Sounds like the rear brake switch needs to be adjusted or fixed or came loose.

Get a manual & check for codes. Even though the light is out, since it was on there should still be one stored. Just means that it is not emissions related. As for the brake light, did you try both rear & front brake to see if it is the switch? Good luck
