Coil re-attack
Coil re-attack
Well, after posting in the Ignition section and thus far, the only response has been that coils are as fickle as women, I decided to try a frame-specific request:
Since acquiring my '03 Dyna FXDWG in '08 I have gone through 3 coils, all within the last 4 years. Additionally, I have gone through 2 voltage regulators. The stator still appears healthy and the current battery remains fully charged (replaced 3 years ago). I have less than 30k miles on the girl so I am at a loss as to a root cause.
Coils are heralded as being near bullet-proof as are VRs. Any thoughts as to a possible explanation?

We work with coils daily, thousands of them each year. It is VERY rare for a coil to go bad, let alone 3 in 4 years.
VR's are not quite so bullet proof.
I would re-check the stator, but from what you describe, it seems there is a wiring short(s) somewhere causing these failures.
Not fun, because there's better than a hundred feet of wire to inspect, along with all the connections.
