Need help with fuel pump
I was riding yesterday and my 07 Glide died on me two different times. Had to kill the bike for a few seconds and then it started back up. Well it did fine till last night I hopped on to go to the store and I was pulling out of my driveway and she died. Tried what worked before and nothing. It turns over but isn't getting fuel, I don't hear the fuel pump sending fuel like normal. I checked my fuse and it's ok. So what else is there to do?

Similar problem
I know this is of no help, but I have a similar problem...my engine turns over but the fuel pump is not activated when I turn on the main switch. I have posted and am waiting for some responses. My bike is an 09 RK...Good luck...I am watching here...

The ecm controls the pump. It may show a code, which will state something like relay open or something for the meaning of the code. Off hand, I don't remember it. Could be the ecm driver, lack of power going to the pump, relay, or pump itself faulty. A volt reading could be taken at the plug on the pump for starters. Each time you switch the key on it will feed power to the pump for about 3 seconds. If you have power here, it could be the pump itself. If no power at the plug when you turn the switch on, work backwards to the relay and then back to the ecm. Check all wires from A-B. You can take volt readings from the fuse block as the starting point as well and work toward the pump.

Fuel pump--many thanks...
I followed your advice...moved on back and found that I had loosened the main connection from the computer module inadvertently...I put the clasp back on firmly--Voila...I can ride in the snow...
Thanks...

That's typical. Start at one end and it's always the last part you check that has the problem. Glad you got it going again.Ron
