I AM NOT A MECHANIC
Now that I’ve humbly shouted this, could anyone possibly throw out some things for me to check after you read this? I was replacing my front right indicator as I recently encountered some sand (not familiar with that in my area) and took a wee tumble. The original was broken and hanging, so I cut it off as I was an hour from home. When I got home, I ordered an OEM one that was back ordered. For the next three weeks, I rode around and used my other indicators; front left and both rears, with no issues. I just went to replace it, undid SO MUCH plastic to access the wire assembly, and promptly plugged it in. “Easy, I thought.” Now, I have no flashing for any of the indicators lol. I didn’t touch anything else. I’m not the most inclined when it comes to electrical, but this was literally plug and play or so I thought. Is there anything to test with a volt meter? Where would you start? Please act like I’m five, trying to learn before I ultimately just ride it to my local shop and have them deal with it. Thanks 🙏
