2007 Dyna w/ PC III. Turn ignition on all lights come on as suppose to and stay on as they should. Powercommander cycles, you can see the green lights strobe as it goes through its boot up / self check. I thought I remember that the PC stays on and that a green light continues to be illuminated. Maybe Im wrong.

Now, all the lights stay on but I hear an audible click (almost like a solenoid is shutting off) and then the PC clicks off. Since the rest of the power is on, the engine will turn over but there is no spark being sent to the plugs. It is as though the ignition circuit has been turned off. No power is flowing through the PC and now power is flowing to the plugs.

Any ideas?

What is the last thing you did to the bike before the problem ? The reason I am asking that, is it sounds like you have a pinched or shorted wire. The audible click is the circuit breaker opening or tripping. I would bet you could turn it off, wait 15 minutes and go through the same thing. Because the breaker is resetting. Start chasing down that shorted wire and you will find the problem.
