FOB Issues

I just replaced the battery in my FOB for my 2013 Ultra Limited. The bike did not responde to the FOB. Can I do anything else to it or is it a Dealer only thing that can "PAIR" it to my bike?

There are many who come here and ask this question, most have put the battery in upside down or failed to peel the plastic off the battery.

Well I feel stupid ... but that worked. Made me learn how to start the bike with security code at least. Thanks for the obvious that I overlooked.

There are those that have done it, those that will, and those that did but lie about doing it.

For future reference, the answer to the dealer question is, they are not the only ones with programming capabilities. I have Diag 4 Bike tool and can program fobs, or disable them altogether.So if you know someone that has a tool, you could skip the dealer fee.

I had this happen on my 15. New battery and still nothing. I had to keep the Fob away from the bike and pull the main fuse for about a 1/2 hour. Popped the fuse back in and it took right off. Don't know why or how ,but this worked for me.
