Damn it!
Brought my Street Bob in to the Dealer for its 1k service, and to throw a few add ons for me-- SERT, Fwd Controls, pipes... I've just added a SE heavy breather and put on some smoked lenses with colored bulbs the night before dropping it off. I got a call asking me what I did to the bike... They finished the service and add ons, and all the idiot lights as well as the brake lights, turn signals... every light on the bike is on, and they can't figure out why. WTF? Could that little wire that was hooked up to the back of the AC do anything? I followed the HD directions, and it said to stick it to the back of the new intake backing plate. Any ideas?

With 2 miles on it, I had it in my dining room to install a rear turn signal relocate kit w/ detachable kit for a sissy bar. They asked me when I did that, trying to tell me that was the problem. NO. It's been running FINE for a month with that installed. TRY AGAIN.

So its two miles from the dealer to your dining room table? Thats worth a pic. I take it youre not married! They should fix the problem but probably want more money?

It was POURING when I picked the bike up, and the wife was at work. ( very understanding too) She was laughing at me the next morning, opened the doors for me to roll the bike out into the monsoon, to take a maiden voyage to Harley Rendezvous.

ya don't budge on the issue, I if they won't fix it call harley corp, they only way the can charge you period is if they determine something YOU did directly caused the problem. but just sitting here thinking If your dealer is like my dealer they probably wash and detail your bike for free, if thats the case it could be a wet fuse box. I was washing my bike last year and my 6 year old wanted to help. he got a little happy with the water, couple hours later when I went to start the thing it was acting exactly like yours. started inspecting and the fuse box was drowned! I pulled all the fuse's bought a can of electrical contact cleaner and went to town. then set a fan on it for 24 hours, new dielectric grease and back to normal it was.......

That would be nice. I was up all night trying to come up with something I'd done. Read every page of this forum trying to find something, sent the service dept an email detailing what I've done to the bike before they got they're hands on it... now I've just got to sit and wait for them to call I guess. KILLING ME. It's NEW. I gave it to them to service and do the install because THEY'RE the " professionals"!! I'm actually an hour from the dealer, I trailered it home cause it was down pouring. ( not that that stopped me the next morning)

Reverse everything you did the night before you brought it in and see if that works. Also, when did they call you to notify you of the lights being on ? If it was before the work, then maybe there is some truth to it. If they called you after they did the work, you need to demand they fix their f'up.
