Started like this......

I noticed about a month ago that shortly after I had started my bike and headed out that the speedometer had no power.
After a second or two of noticing... it came alive.
After three or four more such instances, I became worried... and then it seems my turn signals are affected now as well. ( Specificaly the Right. )

At first they would just cut out, or not start in the first place.... and sometimes the activating of one would kill the Speed-O.
Now the Right will not start at all, and still kills the speed-o every once in awhile.....
But if I activate the left, pressing the Right WILL stop the Left as is normal.
Was that I could "Trick" the right into working.... by activating the Left first, and then pressing the Right Twice... but not anymore.

All clues I have gleamed thus far steer me towards the "Module", or a bare/broken wire.... but what a choice !!!!

Any advice.......

Thanks....

I would first check the connectors for the leads in the system. There might be a loose connection causing high impedence in the system. Also check all of the ground points in the system for good continuity (use a ohm meter and check between the wire and a known good ground on the engine) to make sure that there isn't resistance between the bolt and the connector. I lean towards a poor ground because there are more that one system affected. If all checks out then go for the module.


If your going to go somewhere, have fun getting there.

 

I had some what of the same problem turn out to be my ing. switch They would work and them not work speedometer light would not light

 

Good Shot !
It appears the switch is at least partly responsible, if not the whole problem.
Thanks Guys.

The speedo sensor on the tranny is going bad. This affects both the speedo and turn signal cancelers. HD had a bunch of bad sensors a couple years ago...so far i've had to replace the one on mine twice.
