speedo/tach installation

Just bought one for my 09 Road King,when I hooked it up to the data link connector and turned the ignition switch on nothing happened.It is suppose to calibrate the millage from the original speedometer.Thought it was a return and couldn't be calibrated again so I hooked it to the speedometer plug and turned the switch on and it said No Data.Could the adapter harness that is supplied be defective.Any one else have this problem? Thanks

If I remember correctly the handle bar run switch needs to be on also.

I figured it out.I had the data link connector in the wrong plug,the one just under the seat.The correct one is by the fuse box.This speedo/tack is great,and made in the USA!

I'm really bad at posting pictures,don't use the plug in under the seat,use the one by the fuse box to calibrate new speedo.l did a search,speedomeyer/tackometer,one member did a great job with pics and explanations.(127 replys to his thread.i paid 269 for mine at suburban motors,it's near milwaukee.

I was gonna ask you Spiker if you made sure it was the correct plug, but I didn't want to sound stupid.. It's always the stupid things that make a job take 3 times longer than it should.

Tucci: Below is a link to O-Town D's profile, he has pictures of the install. It helped me through it.
