Default Red key light on
I have 2013 street glide and the red key would sometimes turn on while I'm riding.

I checked and replaced the key fob battery.
I checked the ignition fuse.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance!!!

If the key light has come on the bike will have thrown some codes. I'd start there.

Check battery cable tightness.


Any mods done recently? A security key light can indicate a minor short.


Check and clean all the connections around the intake, and also the TSSM area.


Any codes?

Pull your codes not all of them cause a check engine light

I don't believe there will be any codes, as the Red key is from the TSSM.
The TSSM fault represents faults from the Turn Signal Security Module.
I'd start with the bulbs for sure.

It will throw codes. If it's something with the TSSM it may even provide the part number.
