Left Rear Brake light and turn signal not working sometimes on my 2011 CVO Streetglide.  Twice other riders on 2 different trips tell me no lights.  When I get stopped, of course the work.  Took it to the dealership and they check all connections, etc. and can't find anything wrong with it.  It sucks not knowing as I make a left if the person behind me can see a signal.  I try hand signals, but with the idoits on the roads these days, they probably think I'm just saying hi to another biker. Help!!

Same here.  It went out but came back a few times.  But on the trip to Daytona in March, it died for good.  $150 for a new one.

It sounds like a loose connection. With the light on, wiggle the wires gently starting at the light and follow the wire back as far as you can. Also check the connector where that light plugs into the rest of the wire harnes. If its not the wire, It could be the fixture its self.

Maybe it has to do with someone sitting on it or not.  If its fine when you check it and not when your riding.

Are you getting any codes or does the "engine light" come on? I'd check code history, I had the same problem, turned out to be broken wires along the fender.

It happens on my 2012 also. It only is when the bike is cold (really) and I start it in the morning. It is fine by the time I get to work, start and stop on rides - or of couse when I get to the dealer :(
