1991 ignition switch positions
I have a 1991 heritage soft tail clasic. when i bougt the bike the ignition switch had three positions off run and run with lights.
had a short somewere with bike lights keept going off/tripping the breakers. so i brought the bike to the dealer for repair when i got the bike back i noticed that the ignition switch had been changed from the original set up IE off, run with lights and run with lights.
I did not like this as i always start the bike with the lights off. when i contacted the dealer they stated that it was a law that the lights had to be on, I stated that the bike is "grandfatherd" and I did not want the lights on all the time. they told me to bring it in and they would change it back to the way it was. when i brought the bike back I was then told that it had to be wired this way and that the way that it was was wrong!
Can anyone tell me what the original ignition switch positions are for the 1991 ignition switch??

RE: 1991 ignition switch positions
I don't have my ignition switch in front of me (I'm at work) but I have a 93 softail that I believe has a similar switch. From what I remember of looking at mine, I believe there was a just a jumper wire from one of the poles (on w/no lights) to the other pole (on w/lights). If yours has the same setup, you should be able to just remove that jumper wire so that power doesn't go to the second pole until you move the switch to that position.
If they wired it differently, you should be able to play around with moving the wire positions to find which wires are lights, and which are everything else. It's not that hard, you can just use process of elimination. Good luck.
