The one on my 2000 Fatboy is under the seat. Looks like this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/HARLEY-DAVID...0052%26ps%3D54

More than likely it could also be your CKP (Crank Position Sensor)

Changed module out and checked crank sensor and that seems to be good. I do not have a manual and trying to locate a picture of electrical circurt and see if maybe run switch may not be working. Is there anyone online that may have one that I can get?

Thanks

How did you check crank sensor ?

There is a method in the EDM for checking the sensor but sounds like you dont even have a FSM let alone the EDM

Sorry got ahead of my last message, I didnt check the crank sensor but another guy stopped by and said he did but not sure how he checked it. trying to locate a manual so I can perform test. The module I did changed out as well as coil. I was wondering if the run switch wasn't making contact when turned on.

Thanks for the information. Is there a way to test the CKP with out having breakout box. I have meters and scanners for automotive but none for Harleys. Might have to look at investing?

It would be cheaper to buy the part. And I bet the CKP is the issue. I have a 2000 and it just failed one day. Or find a bud with one you can swap it out and see if the bike starts.
Also, you have a Cam Position sensor too and I had to replace mine. If that is bad bike is really hard to start.
