Right now the dealer thinks the ecu abs module went. They said something about the abs module is not communicating after they performed their flow chart. I'm waiting for the part to come in. I keep you guys updated..
I also have a mustang seat. I know someone mention their seat was rubbing in the wires but I didn't notice anything when I took my seat off.

Happy guy again!
Check your wires see if they are pinched!
Good luck.

I am finally taking mine into Harley tomorrow. Anyone figure out codes that they are throwing. I just want to be able to share the info with them when I drop it off. It got worse yesterday since for 10 mins the neutral light and turn signals wouldnt work. I wish I had a go pro so I could film it or take a picture of it while it was happening (without killing myself). When it first happened. I told them when I checked in for maintenance ( I have my dealers prepaid which existed before Harleys central prepaid). Anyhow they just said cant dupe the problem. This time it is only going in for the problem since they also had to do a PM I am worried they turned it and the speedo worked fine. Since it happens when riding and only sometimes that isnt much help. So this time I am only sending it in for the issue so it can't be ignored while changing my oil.

I had the same problem...
I have a 2011 Heritage and when I ride in 5th or 6th gear my red security light comes on on the speedometer but I don't have a security system? It goes off when I slow down at a stop sign and idle. Any body else have this problem or have a solution. I'd like to fix it myself. I have a BoomAudio stereo on it but I don't know if that would even have anything to do with it.
In my case...
I put a led bulb in the rear taillight and it had bad LED's that kicked it off. The Heritage with the advanced electronic system is sensitive to any flicker of voltage.
Mine did it intermittently and then eventually stayed on.
You may have to have service turn it off.

They are also bleeding my breaks since the mechanic felt they were soft. But I am super glad that it was throwing codes since last time they said they couldn't dup the problem.
Last time I had dropped it off for 10k mile maintenance and told them about the problem. Since my hubby is a mechanic (buses) I know that shops often give maintenance to entry level mechanics in the shop. At least in most of his shops. So this time even though it is only about 300 miles from 15k I only had them dealing with the problem vs doing the 15 k service hoping that would mean the problem wasn't an after thought.
Since they know there is a problem I am at least heading in right direction.
Hopefully on Friday it will all be fixed.
