    Default side indicator wire dropped inside panel

    So,
    As title says, I was stupid, disconnected one of the side indicators (on the guard) and the wire slipped and fell inside, and now I have no idea how to get it back haha.
    Anyone done this and knows how to find it again? I've stuck my fingers in, no luck.
    Thanks

    Have you taken the plastic inner guard off under the front guard? Not sure if you can see the wiring if you do. It's only held on by some plastic screws/bolts.

    Tried a bent coat hanger (into a hook) and tried to snag the wire?

    As FXST01 said, a bent coat hanger or some decent bendable wire is the way to go, might take a while but saves taking of the guard liners.

    I do it 3 or 4 times a day at work with a bent peice of wire. A torch helps too. I've only had to take an inner guard off once this year that I can think of
