Hey guys I’m having a problem with my turn signals(1980’s FLH). Specifically they worked less often then not at all. I pulled and checked all bulbs and cleaned bulb contacts. I now want clean each switch but not sure what to take apart. I disassembled the left switch to point I exposed the switch but looks like i need remove very small Phillips screw that doesn’t want to budge. Before I really mess this screw up am I on the right track to expose inner switch workings?

Suggest locating your signal flasher beneath your dash. Your connections may be weak, broken, or damaged. Ground your test light and test for switched power to flasher. You should be able to test your signal switches without removing from switch housings.

I have a 2013 Fat Boy. My left flasher works, but the green light on my dash does not flash. The right flasher work correctly and the dash indicator flashes green also. It's just the left side indicator.
On my 06 Road King ....my front signals work great but when i signal left or right ....the rear signal lights both come on and flash ....turn left signal ...both rear signal lights flash ....turn right signal ...both rear signal lights come on and flash. The fronts signal lights work as they should. Where should I start to look. Thanks guys
My blinkers just stopped working, no lights on dash or anything. Should fuse be checked first then battery?
My turn signals wont flash they come on but wont flash.Dont know where to look my bike is a 2000 night train.
Turn Signal question. Turn signals work intermitantly while riding. Sometimes they will work and other times they will not. Always work when bike is not running. I have a 91 fxstc
While on the subject of flasher, is it possible to change out flasher to one that will support LED turn signals instead of installing heat producing load equalizers?
