Default Trigger Button Stopped Working.

The trigger button on my 2015 FLHTK stopped working. Has anyone else experienced any issues with the trigger button or any other buttons on the Rushmore Touring bikes?


Thanks!

You obviously pulled the trigger too many times.

Did you pull the trigger off to see if the button underneath was stuck? You slide it over and then pop it off. Maybe hit it with a little white lithium to work it in and get things "unstuck".

Thanks!
Could use some more details. Trigger/Joystick? Button does not work in all-four directions? Does it pertain to a Boom Box function? Is it a total nonfunctional button now?

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess it's the Trigger Button and it doesn't work.



Santajim, another wild guess, but I will go with, the only trigger button on the motorcycle?


While I agree that a lot of time the people don't give the info needed, he did state that it was the trigger button, and it stopped working.

the wiring for it goes into the back of the head unit and it is "can bus" which means its a data wire not just simply a power ground wire (its a data computer wire feed wire and information goes thru it not just power or ground). So that said a lot of things can can wrong with it. If you maybe just changed out the handlebars then look for this kinda stuff...
The wire where it connects to the module pack in the grip could be loose , the wires go thru the clamp part of the grip a horrible design by the way since those wires can get crimped,broke etc.., the module pack can be screwed up as well. hope its under warranty......

Maybe I misunderstood the question. I thought he may be talking about the joysticks, but thanx to a smart *** like you I now understand.
