Default 2010 Fatboy Lo not starting.

2010 Fatboy Lo

Went to start up the bike for a ride today and it was acting like I did not have the FOB in my pocket. . . No starter click, Lights flashing, Key indicator light flashing, and not start.

Changed the FOB battery, no dice.

Tried spare FOB, no dice.

I bought the bike used and I don't know if the guy set a pin number. Checked manual, says to turn switch on-off-on-off-on then push left turn signal 3 times and right once to change pin number. . . nothing, just flashing lights.

Tried some factory set pins I have read might work, 77777, 11111, 31313. . . not working.

Battery is a few months old and is kept on a tender.

Do I SERIOUSLY have to trailer my bike to the dealer for this crap?

Help!

It sounds like you security system died. If so, it's gonna need changed out. I had the same issue. Hopefully....you have the extended warranty? Cause if I remember correctly, it was something like a $400 repair. Warranty covered mine.

Is there any way to disconnect or disable the security system? Would be nice to not have to trailer or tow the bike to the dealer.
