Help! Won't start
Just got done installing plasma rods and Arnott Air ride tonight. Everything works fine except when I hit the starter button. The fuel pump kicks on, engine light goes out, hit the button and it seems like the starter gets stuck. The bike will go to crank, then just shuts everything down.
I pulled the tank to run an air line and wires, rechecked the connections and lines under the tank dash. Checked battery connection and fuses.
What am I missing? Bike is a 2014 ultra limited. I also have a garage door opener, custom dynamic led's front blinkers installed.

No, hooked up the air ride directly to the battery. The plasma rods were spliced into the rear light harness under the seat.

Yes, everything on the bike works, radio, lights, air compressor. Hit the starter and everything goes out for a slit second.

Do you have a battery tender you can put on it? Kinds sounds like there is enough juice to turn things on put when you hit the start switch there is not enough juice to crank the bike and all the electrical drops out for a second... Strange and I hope you figure it out soon.

Is there anyway your battery is low? When you say it starts to crank then it sounds like the starter gets stuck and everything shuts down, was that a one time try? or were you able to turn ignition on and off and try again multiple times? Sorry I posted to late I see now you have battery tender on. Good luck
