2005 softail won't start
2095 softail
|
Hi I have a 2005 softail. I am selling it. I started it up the morning someone was coming to make sure the battery was good. It started right up. 7 pm that night the person came and it started right up. He asked to drive it around the paRking lot, backed it out of garage and nothing. I have lights n gauge but when you turn it to run and hit the ignition absolutely nothing. I changed the battery and the starter relay still nothing. Does this sound like a starter or starter solenoid??? Never had any indication or dragging. Please help

The battery you put in, did you charge it up and check the voltage first? A load test would be called for, just to eliminate the battery as a factor.

Put a meter on battery. Can also put on high charge for just a few minutes see if it then clicks.
2 starts on low battery with no riding may have been to much. Next would be to look and see what works what doesn't and then get meter. Check fuses check for voltage. Make sure kill switch is in on too |
Sounds like loose cables, check all not just battery.

Also I checked all fuses. Nothing is blown. I think now either selonid is stuck or wires loose or need cleaning because I went from no noise at all to it trying to start them no noise again

Rock your kill switch on off on off several times and try it..
also work the starter switch as well. I've seen switches get dirty or loose connection anyway. |
