Neutral Light not working
My 2002 Fatboy just got here a week ago and I love it. The only thing I noticed was that the neutral light doesn't work. Anybody have any idea how to fix it or what to check? Thanks!

-Remove the terminals from the switch (just pull them up)
- Turn Ign ON
- with paper clip short both terminals of the switch - if the green "N" comes up, then the problem is in the switch.
a.) Switch problem:
- Make sure the tranny is in Neutral (rock the bike to verify)
- Connect back the terminals, turn Ignition ON
- try to tighten up the switch with an open wrentch (within 1/4 of a turn the "N" should light up if the switch is lose)
- If the "N" doesnt light up- you'll need to replace the switch.
b) Wiring problem ("N" Doesn't light up when the terminals are shorted)
- could be a broken wire at the Indicator Bar (at the connectors), inspect wiring at the Indicator bar
- could be a burnt "N" light.
In any case the most probable causes are:
- unhooked switch terminal (inspect and reconnect)
- unseated switch ( need to be tighten up no more than 1/4 of a turn)
Good luck!

Just fixed the problem. Was at the Harley dealer today and a mechanic was in the parts area. I asked him and he said to buy a new Neutral Switch for $14. Well, the mechanic was right. It was a little tough swapping out the switch, but I finally got it done and now green light works. YAY!
