Hello Everyone,

I have a 2012 Softail that has no power when I turn on the ignition or ACC. The battery is charged and all conections are solid. I just moved the motorcycle from South Carolina to California and it does have the Lo Jacks and key fobs. I just want to ride but I can't, any ideas? Thanks

John

 

fuses, check power @ the switch connection under the dash. If you don't have a manual you should get one. It will help a ton!
Good luck.

 

Reminds me of the old days in Yahoo chat. Folks would come in asking for help with PC/OS problems. Every once in a while the question was how to bypass the administrative password on a laptop, of course they would reply it was given to them without a password.

Doubtful the case with the OP, was just the first thing come to my mind > lol
I'm guessing that since you have no power anywhere you have a bad main power/ground connection. Multi meter and track it down.

 

Thank you all, I'm getting the multimeter out this morning. Just wanted to make sure that the Lojacks/Anti-theft system wasn't to blame. From the sounds of things a wire came loose during transport ( a lot of bumpy roads between California and South Carolina). Thanks again

 

How do you know the battery is charged? I had my streetglide shipped and the dealer didn't put it in transport mode. Alarm was going off the whole time until the battery was flat dead. Once I charged it, all was good.

 

Check the main 40 amp fuse. Did it get removed for transport? Typical if alarm is installed.

IIRC, there is also a "transport" mode for the alarm system. I will have to look up how to disable it, some one may know off the top of their head or have access to their manual.

 

Good post, hopefully the OP reads this and that's all it was. Not having security I was unaware of the transport mode.

 

Thanks to all of you who replied, found the culprit and tightened the ground down. I guess I'll have to do a good check after transporting my bike in the toy hauler. Great ride up in the San Gabriel Mountains and taking the wife out tonight.

 

Glad to hear you got it going. I always check the simple things first, and then if that don't fix it...I start to see Hundred dollar bills going out the window.
Ride Safe!

 

Your bike disconnected its own ground. It is too scared to run in California... they go at least as fast as the speed limit there... unlike many in SC.
