2012 FLSTC won't start indicator lights flickering
After sitting all winter, connected to a battery tender, I tried starting my bike. All of the indicator lights and speedometer lights flicker and the bike won't start. Any suggestions to what the problem may be? Thanks in advance.

Bad Battery;
Battery boiled all of it's electrolyte out; loose battery cable(s). Critters chewed through some wires. |

Put a volt meter on the battery.
Will it turn over at all? |

Critters were my first thought but I see no evidence of that. Battery seems fully charged and cables are tight. When I turn the key on everything starts flickering as if there is a short somewhere.
It's easy enough to change the battery in the FOB, but your bike's battery would be my first guess. Take it to any auto parts store for load testing after it has been on a tender all night. |

12.6 volts needed for it to be a good battery. Any below that and it's scrap.
