2001 Wideglide starting issue
2 days ago i was installing a lowbrow starter key switch on my 2001 wide glide. It worked for an hour while i was still working on mounting it, but during that time i accidently grounded the live oil sensor wire. Then it wouldn't crank, i replaced the starter relay and the circuit breaker and checked all the fuses in hopes that it would fix the issue, but it didn't. I applied power directly to the starter solenoid and it cranked, so i know thats good. I tested the wires on the key ignition and the red and red/grey are getting power but the red/black one isn't. Therefor when i touch the two wires to start the bike, i get nothing.
Im beginning to think that when the wire grounded it shorted or locked the tssm system somehow. I don't have blinkers, blinker switches, or the stock speedo to reset it though. damn, i have no idea.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of fixing this? PLEASE!

I'm scratching my head on this. No answer for you but I have some time and I'm scrapping the web and asking some buds. I'm trying to see if there is a reset with out signals or speedo and also if the oil sensor is the culprit (almost like a fail safe - no oil no start).
If I get anything more I'll let you know.

I thought that post was about removing it from the chain of events and then the bike will start. maybe I read it wrong but this is what the poster says (post #10)...
*I don't know if the newer TTSM systems install the same way as the old ones did . On the old ones you could take out the module on the bike in under 30 + seconds and hot wire it and ride it away in no time with out the key. Or just use the key and start the thing. "
