HELP! Alarm flashes, doesn't recognize my key fob.
I went to garage this past Sunday and got the bike ready for a nice ride. Saddlebags loaded up, my girl on back, go to turn the ignition on and the lights/turn signals just flash...repeadily.
Thought, ok my key fob battery is weak or dead, so I go upstairs to get the other fob. No luck. Alarm still just blinking and red key indicator on dash staying lit. So I start reading the manual on how to override this. Says there should be a 5 digit code to enter to turn off security. But as luck would have it the guy I bought it from didnt write it down. So I called him...he doesnt remember ever setting one. Great.
So I tried a few obvious numbers like 1,1,1,1,1 and 1,2,3,4,5. No luck. I then disconnected the battery, then hooked it back. No luck. Still blinking.
I start calling other Harley owners I know to ask for help. No one has an answer. So I go back to the bike (Id had left it in the 'on' position) and the red key has turned off. I fired it up and bingo...it cranks.
I put the seat on it, gear back up and we take off for a ride. When I got back home I turned it off and then waited a minute and tried to crank it again. No dice, just starts blinking at me like it doesnt recognize the key fob.
Last time I rode everything worked fine, the alarm deactivated when I got it close to the bike just like it supposed to. Now its fubared. Any suggestions on what it could be or is this a dealer issue and need to have the alarm checked out? Its a 07 Road King Classic with 4200 miles.
thanks in advance.
