Clear diagnostic code on 2001 FXD
New to the forum here, been checking it out the past couple of days.
My stock 2001 FXD has been flashing the trouble code out since I bought the bike this summer. I searched the Do it yourself section (My kind of section!) and found the diagnostic codes. Ran the test and found the code to be 31 Alarm output low. I don't have a alarm on the bike! I tried to clear the code and got the bike to flash that it accepted it, but when I turn on the ignition it flashes again. Tried test again and got the same code.
I might want to mention the left turn signal would turn itself on by itself for about two days a couple of weeks after I bought it. Upon dealer suggestion, took the switch apart looking for a loose connection, found nothing and it has worked every since.
How can I clear the memory it so it does not flash anymore?[sm=dontgetit.gif]
Thanks in advance.

If you clear the memory of stored codes and it comes back again, there is a present problem storing that code. You may have to rely on the dealer to clear it for you and possibly analize the system with the digital tech.

That's what I was afraid of. I like to do as much myself as possible. Keeps the cost down so I can buy more stuff for the bike!
Thanks anyway.[sm=headbang.gif]

I have said this before but it can't be said enough.
The fusebox on my SG got soaked every time I washed the bike. Consequently the fuses had corroded contacts. This caused all kinds of strange electrical problems. Check your fuses.

I'll have to check the fuses tonight and if they are ok next up will be disconnecting the battery.
Thanks for the suggestions. [sm=goodidea.gif]
