Default Help! 99 Dyna FXLD No power
Just got onto I 95. Bikes running fine. The bike shuts off while riding. I have no lights, turning the key doesn’t turn anything on. Hitting the ignition switch has no response.
Something near the fuse box keeps making a constant clicking noise. If I take the key out of the bike it still keeps clicking once every 15-20 seconds. Had to disconnect battery to get it to stop. Any ideas what the cause is and how to fix it? I’m still on the side of the road FYI. Five mile push to get her home!

Clicking sounds like you may have a relay that has gone bad and is cycling. Best bet is to start with fuses, then check relays, and start tracing power if you have a schematic?

Go over all your battery and ground connections to make sure that they are tight and clean.
Try a new relay.

Have a look at that ign switch. They’re problematic

Battery condition? Swelling?
Check the battery ground circuit.

You would be wise to disconnect the battery before you turn your back on the bike. It sounds like the making of a fire until sorted out.
