Mine started pullin that crap and not too long after that the ignition switch took a dump. Don't mean that's what yours is doin but just giving you a heads up in case. Can't clean or fix the new ones...Gotta replace em. Harley wanted some dumbass amount. I think it was around $120.00 or something. I bought an aftermarket on ebay for $20.00. Works great I just have two keys now, one for ignition switch and one for the fork lock.

My 03 Ultra started this and finally completely stopped working. After several days of troubleshooting we found two wires that had stressed and broken in the harness by the triple tree. The insulation had not broken and made it really hard to find. It also caused the speedo itself to go bad over a week or so of getting spurious voltages. Not saying that is what is happening to yours but that is what happend to me just this month.
