My neutral light started to flicker today in any gear. work fine in neutral. Any ideas?
08 fxlr

 

look at the switch on the top trans cover, and see if it is loose or the wires on it are loose.....that will make it flicker.

 

My '08 FXDC started doing the same thing. Please let us know if that was the fix or if it was something else...thanx

 

+1....

Had the same problem several times, most of them after having washed the bike.

It's a bad connection causing the neutural light to flicker. Ho to solve?

Just take off the plugs from the switch on the transmission cover one at the time, clean the copper studs and the inside part of the plug, spray some WD40 in the plug and reconnect.

 

I had the same thing happen to me a while ago. I took it to the dealer since it was still under warranty. The mechanic blamed it on the V&H Fuel Pak that I had at the time. He claimed that it pinched wires under the seat since it is large and jammed under the seat and then tried to sell me the SE RaceTuner. He never "found" the pinched wire but said when he moved the wires around and problem went away. He then said he SHOULD charge me since it is an aftermarket part that I put on. I told them whatever and got on my bike and rode away. Last time I've ever taken my bike to the dealer for anything!!!

Funny thing, that dealership is now out of business after being the "Oldest dealer in Pennsylvania" since the 20's!!! Go figure!

I haven't had time to look at it yet but I'll let you know what i find.

As for PA dealers, take a look at this thread. (I don't know if your aloud to link to another fourm) but It still pisses me off years later. Apple HD

I tried the wiggle test with the connections ... moved the wires around .. no change ... 06 Supah Glide ...

 

I had the same problem on my 06. The switch was bad and had to be replaced.

 

I have the same problem on my 09 Street Bob. Replaced the neutral switch this past weekend. Still have the problem.

Will be looking for loose wires.

 

I forgot all about this thread. It ended up being a wire that rubbed to ground.
