Had a starting issue today with my 2011 wide glide.The on/off switch was in the off position and as soon as I turned the ignition on the starter engaged,which in-turn turned the motor over.The bike wont start but the starter engages.
It will start if I have the on/off switch on but the starter keeps engaging.
For the hell of it I disconnected the battery,connected the battery up and still did the above.I took the on/off switch housing off to see if things were corroded but they look to be a sealed switches.
Its fine now,just don't want it to happen again
Any idea?
Thanks all

 

FYI if anyone has this problem, check the starter relay. Thats what was causing the above problem

 

yep, had same problem on my son in laws nightster. Same relay fits a Dodge, so it was cheaper to buy than a HD relay. So instead of Moco part used a mopar one. lol

 

I went to NAPA to see if they had one. They crossed the relay for one used in a lexis and wanted $40 for it. I went to the local harley dealer and got one for$6.00 . And they say harley rips people off
