Default Bank Angle Sensor

I'm finishing the wiring on my 1998 XL Custom based chopper. It cranked, started and ran perfectly with a broken BAS. The top portion of the BAS was broken off, the switch function was gone and just a small portion of a circuit board remained.

I bought a replacement one (P/N 32495-98) installed and oriented it correctly, I think - plug at the bottom, no?

With the new part it won't crank at all, no power to the starter. If I put the "broken" BAS back in it cranks fine.

I know to cycle the ignition to reset the BAS. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Default Bank Angle Resolved

I went back and reviewed my prior work and found a bad crimp in a connector termination that allowed an intermittent fault in the starter relay connection.

Issue resolved.

Glad you solved the problem, just weird that the "broken" part worked and the new one didn't.
