anyone know anything about it i have an 82 sportster and the left sighnals an tail light wont work. any ideas?

No idea on that model but when I had to extent my wiring when I put mini aps on my 08 all the wiring came to a central spot where they all connected. Follow the wiring check all your connections.

yeah just goin through it all now i also have chris comin over to look , i got a feeling its a cracked wire or a bad ground

More then likely a bad ground, you should be on the right track. If not ground or broken wire might be in the ignition switch.

everything else is working fine

Start with the basics, bulbs, connections, grounds, conuniutity from switches to the bulbs, power at the connectors, seeing the age i would check the resistance in the wiring also could have some corrosion issues. At least it should be an easy system no ecms or anything.

we have determined the signals to be a switch issue so im ordering one tomorrow , and it got too dark to work on the tail light so thats tomorrows project

Signal switches are usually the culprit, it was my issue on my 2000 Magna that I also have. Fairly easy fix, tail light should be simple to find if you found the signal problem this fast. Nice job Dennis :thumb:

i was the flashlight guy chris gets the credit for this one, wiring confuses the crap outa me
