How's this for an oddball problem?
'02 Heritage Springer, no security system. However, a few weeks ago the little LED key in the speedo face came on and won't go off. It seems to be powered by the same wire as the tripmeter reset. Any ideas on how to get this light out?

In the owner's manual, and in the service manual, there is a section about the security system and how you can arm/disarm it with the turn signals....
Maybe have a look at that, and see.
I have a security system, but no alarm, only the lights flash....
Do you have that ? No key FOBs?
The turn signal method is a little tedious, but it might work.

I have an '08. My "key" light came on when I put LED bulbs in the turn signals. I guess the computer senses the diff in ampere draw and sets the light like a check engine light. Is there a bulb out or did you change anything?

My understanding is that there is a security system on each bike, it's just not activated unless you pay for it. I've tried the turnsignal disarm and that didn't work. I don't think there's a bulb out, but I'll check. Checked, no bulb out.
Update: I tried the turnsignal disarm for an '08 model and it worked. I'm not sure how, since it's different than an '02. Just happy the little light is off.
Thanks!

BTW I dont know about the older bikes (pre Security System II) but they do not install the system in all bikes. It is however fairly easy to do. All you need to do is substatute the TS (Turn Signal) module for the slightly larger TSSM (Turn Signal Security System) Version.
Then do the turn signal button sequencing setup to turn it on and program it for the PIN you want.

If you dont have the security option on your bike, that little key means you threw a code. Your dealer can run a diagnostic check to tell you which code it is. Doing the turn signal disarm only clears the code, but it will come back on down the road.

Are the pre 07 bikes ECM's programed differently that they use the key instead of the little engine symbol for warning of a trouble code.
I'm confused.
