My bike doesn’t have the security system, so this may be completely wrong.

You said that you don’t have a fob.

Then you posted a picture of the security module, and you unplugged/plugged it back in.

Doesn’t that answer the question as to the issue?

Here are a few things to try:

Look at the part number on the TSM to determine if it is a TSM or TSSM,, part # 10 .
With ign on and off/run switch in Run:
Find the fuel pump relay and see if you have power on the W/BK wire coming from the run/off switch on the right hand controls, check for power coming from the fuel system/ coil fuse on the R/O wire. This relay powers fuel pump and Ignition coil.

And the fuel pump.

The ground for the Fuel pump relay is through the ECM on the BR/Y wire. Once you turn ign and kill switch on the ECM provides ground to the relay for a couple seconds, you hear the pump run then it shuts off. The relay coil will go to ground again once the CPK tells the ECM the engine is rotating, when the starter is engaged.

If he has power to the relay coil and to the relay contact, and the relay is good, the next place to look would be the CKP.

Hope he comes back

Go back to post #42.

Does it have the security TSSM?

Check for power at the Fuel Pump relay, at 86 and 87. Knowing if voltage is present leads to the next test.

Do lights come on?

Did you check all battery and ground connections?

Hey Guys hope you had a good new year

i will try to answer the last ideas as good as possible one at the time, thank you all for the replys.
before i write you now gonna lauf sometimes when i set the iginition to on it blinks 6 times but some times it dosent its like there are a ghost in it.

VERNAL : its a TSM. and thank you so much for the electrical drawings, i have chekt both relays to see if the right colored wire is on the right relays leg those drawings helped med understand the system more, maybe you can sent me sheet 1 and 2

BRAKELESS : you have helped from the start thank you so much.. when i bought the bike it had in the description a STAR CODE : STATIONARY , so i thought it could start but they havent droven it

after meaasuring all the thing and don all the thing you guys told me to do i have cocluded what i think and if its sounds in the sky then just correct me guys

it must be the fuel pump that is broken i think because i dosent prime and i have and i have tryed to measure the plug that goes in to the fuel pump and it have 3 wires + - and one wire that send signal to ignition coil and the + in the plug gets power but you dont hear the pump prime and then this signal wire dosent gives anything.
you think i got it or totally lost hehe ;D ???

so i have parked it a little bit to the side hehe because a new arrival came from the states


1997 FLHTCI


i changed the oil, chekked the sparks plugs, cleaned the air filter, emtyed the benzin and fil it up again.

Ignition ON button on RUN i hear the fuel pump prime and it started first time sooo nice

so now i have new energy to jump on the road king cant get rest in my soul before i start it hahaha

So you bought another bike from the US but weren't willing to spend any money on the non starting bike with a qualified mechanic?

The picture showing you holding the Turn signal module has a partially exposed part number of xxx920-01. That is a Turn signal module with NO security system installed. To install a H-D Security system you would replace that module with a new one with a different part number.
