Turn signal problems.

I noticed this morning that my turn signal indicator is not working. The turn signals themselves work fine but no dice with the indicator... Does anyone has any idea on how to proceed to start troubleshooting this issue? Thank you

Or the base of the light bulb has weathered and has corrosion on it that is not allowing proper contact.

Check that before you start getting into the wiring.

We all do it, man. I took a hiatus from this board for more than a year at one point. We have a very strong core of long-term members who are always there to help. I just go through periods where I get obsessed with making sure everyone has some type of response - and depending on when I log-in, I am either first to a conversation or last... or I forget that I'm in conversation with anyone at all. haha

Either way, thank you.

Cool. For info, How do I remove the turn signal indicator green thingy to access the bulb? the manual pdf is not really explicit about that.
