Default turn signal & speedometer bulbs

In removing my DIP switch which was getting inconsistent (the new one is the wrong one - frustrating...) I nudged the turn signal relay. I replaced the relay but now only the right turn signal works, the left, nada. Is that a relay problem or a wiring issue?

I also noted that my speedometer bulbs were not functioning. I removed both, bench tested and they light up... difficult wiring trace?

Ok, so I contorted myself and took another look this a.m. at the wiring under the dash left of the steering and found the issue that solved both the turn signal and speedometer bulb issue.... the connection circled in yellow had disconnected, likely as I was futzing around trying to replace the DIP switch.... all is once again right with the world, today anyway.... this hour... minute... Happy Motoring....
