Softail Won't Start
2005 FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic will not start. Battery checked out fine and has a full charge. All lights are on and bright. When you go to start it, it just has a repetitive loud clicking and the lights flicker like a strobe.

How old is the battery? It may check out to be fine but one weak cell in it will cause the issue that you're having. Check both ends of each battery cable and clean them off.

Sounds like a bad battery. As mentioned a battery wilt a bad cell may still show good voltage but not have any ***** when a load is applied. Get a new battery and all will be well!
