My 02 Electra Glide wont turn over, Starter comes out and tries to turn over but clicks. I did a voltage test on the battery, starts at 12.63 when you hit the button it dropped down to 6.00. I replaced the starter so I know its good. What do I check, what is/could be wrong?

 

Bad battery

 

end of thread

 

or bad/loose cables.

also ensure that starter is getting a good ground through the mounting bolts.

some rubbermount models have a grounding strap between the inner primary and the frame- if that goes, the clutch cable may become the ground

if you want, take out the battery & charge with a charger overnight at a 3 amp to 5 amp charge rate- load test at autoparts store.

if duff, many of us use the big crank from batterymart

make sure the starter bolts are tight the battery grounds through the starter if the starter is not tight to the inter primary the ground could be bad

 

My 2000 Ultra was less than a year old when I had this issue.
I was in Canada and it took the dealer over an hour of trouble shooting to find that the bolt the connects the ground cable to the inner primary wasn't tight enough.
