Went to start the bike then all power shut off. Gauge lights come on in "Accessories", but when turned all the way to start everything goes back off. the following is what i've done so far;


Checked battery connections (GOOD)
Checked all fuses (GOOD)
Did the relay dance to see if relays went bad (GOOD)


I can't seem to wiggle any wires to get it to work. Could this be my ignition switch? if so, how much are ignition switches from harley, or can i buy aftermarket from somewhere in the morning?


Ty for any quick responses.

 

The relays are $12.00 I would buy a new one and put it in the system relay. When my starter relay went bad I switched them out and nothing. Then I bought a new one and it worked.

 

just got home after a long *** day of running around. So apparently it's not my switch, so taking the bike to a brothers house to chase down a short somewhere in the wiring harness. All my relays and fuse in the fuse block are okay, as well as the green 30amp fuse on the positive battery cable, is there another relay I've missed?

 

Sounds like the switch - what happens when you wiggle the key in the switch with it "on"?

 

this got suedo updated in another thread where another member was/is having the same problem. It is not my switch. I have some kind of a ground issues somewhere other then the fuses, relays, or battery.

We discovered this as we spliced the start wire into the accessories wire in order to get it to start since the accessories has power. However, when you touch the start wire to the accessories all power is again lost. Currently we are waiting for a truck to get it to a garage where we will hunt down this peky electrical gremlin. :-/

 

I was having a issue with my bikes starter. I took the starter out twice and tested it it was good. I always hated my ground cable from the battery to the frame. Mainly because the cable (oem) was too short. So I went to Walmart and bought a longer one and replaced it. I have had no more electrical problems.

Just a thought, not sure if it will help

 

I'm sure this particular wire will be looked at. Walmart eh? what can't you get there? lol.
