First problem is the indicator: you'll need to check out the condition of the wiring harness all the way back to the flash can in the drivers foot well. It could be that the harness has burned out. Also, it might sound obvious, but have you checked the globe and the condition of the globe holder. Rear lights on VN's are notrious for leaking a bit, and when they get water in them the contacts corrode like you wouldn't believe.
The VN stereo wiring harness is a nice and simple one here's a guide for you: Orange = constant 12V yellow = accesories Black = earth Brown/white = illumination yellow/red = elec aerial dark green(-) & light green(+) = front right tan(+) & grey(-) = front left dark/black(-) & blue red(+) = rear right brown/black(+) & yellow/blue(-) = rear left
That came from a user at the JustCommodores forum, I didn't write it up myself. It helped me out a bit.
