Default Neutral light stays on.

My 2000 Heritge Softail Springer (flsts) neutral light stay on. Where is the neutral light switch located?

Look at your clutch release cover, then look on top and toward the rear. You will see a switch with two wires attached. See pic below

Mine comes on along with the red key (security light) whenever I ride in the mountains. It's been doing it for years and no cleaning of the Neutral switch or anything else I do seems to make any difference. As soon as I get back down from high elevation it's all back to normal. As I said......pretty

You can always tell when your motorcycle gets high!

Maybe someone in China mixed up the neutral switch with an altimeter switch when H-D put in the order for neutral switches?
