Turn signal not working

[Sportyrider883-1200]

I have a 2004 sportster, one turn signal on the back right does not work. I switched the bulbs and still doesn't work. In guessing a wire or connection in the switch, I don't think it's the switch because the front one still works and it still displays on the dash. Any suggestions?

The wires that run on the inside of the rear fender are exposed and can suffer from damage

Good advice from Brian, that's where I'd start as that has been an issue in the past.
You may also want to clean the bulb socket, they have been known to get corroded and not make good contact.

My 07 had the same issue, as Jeff said, clean the contacts in the socket, worked for me.

Thanks for the feedback, I checked the wires and sure enough they were rubbing on the tire and almost freyed in half. I put new wires on it and it fixed it, although it was a job since my rear end has lowered burly shocks, had to take shocks off and Jack it up to drop the swibgarm. Thanks again

Good deal, thanks for the update.
