Might try reposting in the appropriate maintenance area below after you have done a search and still need help. If you repost consider adding information on bike to narrow it down a bit too. John

Lately there has been reports of loose battery cable nuts, wires shorting out, the switch itself causing problems and one even had his switch catch on fire.....

I had an issue I posted in the softail forum a month or 2 ago. Had lights, but not starter, no cellunoid click...no nada nothing. Let me know if that was it.

I posted a thread awhile back called "ignition woes" in the touring section. Don't know if that's what you're talking about or not. Anyhow it is HERE.
