In my search to get rid of the "Click of death" I have found, what I believe is my problem, after going through steps, I have found here & by just wiggling my connector that goes to my starter relay, but I need a crimping tool to crimp the connectors & put in plug. Heres the link to the plug & connectors I got & maybe someone can provide info to what kind of connectors these are & the tool I need to finish the job. This is for a 1996 FXDL
Thanks!

never used a special tool for those. used a combination of needle nose pliers and standard crimpers to get it buried good and tight on the wire, and needle nose again for the tabs that grab the insulation

if you're worried about it, hit it with a touch of solder when you're all done (before you put the heat shrink on)

I had the "special" crimper tool when I used to work for P&G, but they were wire size specific, because it required a certain sized barrel on it for crimping different sizes of wire/insulation thickness. as I recall, they weren't cheap

 

I got one of these but I don't remember paying this much.

Wow!
That IS expensive.
I think I paid less than half that years ago.

 

It is in Drag Specialties for $26.95
Part number 93150

Used to buy those things for 5 bucks all day long. Sucks to get old boys!

 

If you find the problem, please let us know. My brother in law has a 96 Heritage with the dreaded click. It already has the two relay fix on it, but it still does it. Drives him nuts. Now he carries a booster with him, and that will get it going he says.

 

Needle nose pliers and standard crimpers for non insulated connectors. As stated before. You prolly have them in your toolbox buried at the bottom.

 

blueharley, if your BiL put a second relay on correctly with the new main feed coming directly from the battery cable and it still has The Dreaded Click, then his problem is either bad battery cables, bad ground, bad connections/wire on your new circuit, bad solenoid or a bad starter. Put a volt meter on the solenoid pull in terminal and hit the starter button. It should read very close to the voltage at the battery with the starter button pushed. If not, go back one connection to the pin on the new second relay and check, then back one more pin, then back to the battery cable, then the battery until you find where your voltage drop is and fix that. I realize it is difficult to check because you have to check it when the thing is acting up, but that's the nature of the problem.

 

And my money is on bad solenoid contacts.
