2006 1300R - Turn signal and HB indicator doesn’t work

Hi there! My turn signals, high beam indicator and backlight don’t work on the gauge cluster, however both the oil and neutral light do. We checked the green connectors and all seem fine. And no issues with fuses. Any other suggestions? Thank you!

One more thing… we connected the gauge cluster from another bike and they still didn’t work… so that eliminates that…
The pins on the Green connectors can be pushed out about an 1/8" and have an open circuit. A male pin was bent over once. You have power, possibly missing a green ground wire. Examine the male pins carefully. High beam indicator and turn signals have their own power.

Your question was a bit confusing. Do the lights themselves work? Do the lights and indicators not work?
Sorry for the confusion… yes, the actual signals and high beam work fine. The indicators and backlight do not work on the dash. The oil and neutral indicators do work on the dash though. Does that make more sense?

Yes, that helps. I'm far from an electrical expert but your issue seems to be in the wires for those indicators. I suggest tracing both wires from the indicators, looking for damage, breaks, etc. May have to undo some of the loom. If the indicators don't work on 2 different panels, it is in your bike's wires.
Did you open any connectors in the headlight bucket???
I still believe the Green Ground wire is the problem.
Get a needle and put a Ground from the frame into the Green wire > on the speedo Green wire, or a pin onto the Green connector..
Oil and Neutral have their own switches to Ground.
Not long ago a wire in the cable harness to the headlight bucket broke.
Instead of a nice loop it became a folded over wire and wire strands broke.
Kinked broken wire, happened to be Green...
Thank you for the responses. We hope to look at it again today.
That was the problem! After closer inspection… We did find a loose ground wire in one of the connectors. The green one. Thanks for the feedback!
