Just having a quick check over the bike, and the rear indicator isn't working. It isn't the bulb - it's interchangeable with the tail light so could test and all was fine - and the front is working fine, albeit blinking faster as a warning given the rear's fecked. All taillights and the other indicators are fine, so the fuse will be okay, any ideas on where to start looking? I use the bike daily to get to/from work so need to get it sorted ASAP.

Unplug the connector to it and see if you have 12v when it's on if not work backwards from there. It'll likely be a poor connection somewhere. Remember to test the earth to (continuity to the battery)

I had a meter, it broke. Bought another one tonight as I had to get some spare bulbs anyways. Got home to test the circuits, readings seemed fine, put bulb back in and it was working no problem. Go figure. Thanks anyways.
