Angry 1997 Dyna Glide electrical problem - continues
Sorry all, I made a mistake with my previous post by next checking properly. I have a 1997 Dyna Glide with a strange problem. When you switch on ignition the tail light and head light blinks and the clicking noise comes from the 15 A lights fuse and notIgnition Module as previously posted. Could it be a earth problem? The wiring to ignition and fuse also get warm?
Please let me have your diagnostic solutions?

There's a short, the clicking is from a circuit breaker that's self resetting. Start checking the wiring. The short's more than likely under the rear fender.

Does the bike have fuses or breakers?
