Jaftica, the fob seems to work for unlocking and locking...I just recently changed out the batteries also. But I think if the bike wasn't able to read the fob, I would be getting an option to enter the PIN number...I'm not seeing that at all.

 

nutsandbolts, I am not the original owner. My father-in-law was the original owner. I bought it from my mother-in-law after he passed away. He had no work done to it since he bought it.

 

Welcome to the Forum from Utah. Did you get it started?

I'm unfamiliar with CVO's.

Looking at your CVO owners manual under starting, Turn off/run switch to run - 4 seconds later fuel pump runs for 2 sec, turn fork lock to unlock, pull clutch lever in and hold it there, shift to neutral, raise jiffy stand,(international models) and push start button.

If it's still not starting what happens at each step? Does fuel pump run, neutral light come on ....... Were the terminals tight and battery at 12.8V

If you take the fob away will the enter pin number show? Do you know the pin?

 

My apologies, I have a '16 FLHTCU, had a '12 FLHTK and both have the same ignition switch/ OFF-RUN switch set-up. I ASSumed that the ignition switch was the same on all newer baggers.... I was unaware that the CVO FLHTK has a different ignition/OFF-RUN switch set-up....

Keep us posted on the final fix...

 

I've got a CVO Limited.
Just thinking out loud:

FOB in hand, right hand grip button to RUN, if the radio comes on the FOB is good. You would get the alarm if it were not.
When you then push the start button, are you sure you have the green N light for neutral?
The lock/unlock buttons on the FOB have nothing to do with the starting, you can start it locked or unlocked (yes, I know this is well known, just making sure it's said)

My complete and utter guess is someone screwed with the left grip switches and screwed up the clutch interlock. If it has the same problems in neutral, might be neutral switch is screwy too. Shift up a couple, then back down to neutral. Sometimes my light is on but the bike doesn't think it's in neutral until I shift up then down again.

 

Or pull the clutch lever in all the way...should negate a neutral switch issue.

 

TriDan/dceggert,

I don't think it has anything to do with the fob. I get the radio when I push the RUN button. I've tried pulling the clutch all the way in and having it in neutral...I've done both together. I think I'm going to have to give the dealer a call on this one...it's getting to be riding weather now.

 

I read through this again quickly, nutsandbolts suggested checking your fuses, have you?

 

Ahhh Vernal, thanks for reminding me...that is one thing I have not checked yet...

 

I don't recall if you checked for codes:
