Default Resetting a circuit breaker
I have a 93 FXR Low Rider custom and for the first time when attempting to start it today I hit the starter and everything went completely dead on it.. I found that one of the battery cables was loose so I tightened them both up but still nothing.. and the battery is fully charged. The local HD shop said to reset the breaker but when I pulled the panel I don't see where to do that reset.. does anybody have a site they can point me to that will walk through the reset process or possibly give me some direction on how to do so? thanks in advance for the help..

Can't help ya but I would suggest you call the shop back and ask them WTF they were referring to and where to find it and how to reset.

The main circuit breaker resets itself when it cools down.....If it is tripping the breaker, you have a short to track down.
