Netural Light Stays On

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I have a 2008 Street Glide has 6200 miles, today the netural light stays on even when in gear. Seems a little dimmer in gear and sometimes flickers a little. Anyone have any suggestions

Sounds like Neutral switch is out of adjustment.
Take it to dealer.

RE: Netural Light Stays On

My Ultra had a similar issue. Usually happened only when it was hot. Someone else on the board had mentioned that Service Bulletin
M-1205 corrects the problem with new switch, P/N 33926-06B. The dealer acted like they'd never heard of the problem, and it took them two days to fix, but I haven't had the problem since.

Sounds like the neutral switch to me. Mine has been replaced twice and I still get the problem once in awhile when I run at highway speeds for long periods.

If Neutral light is on it IS in neutral ... Don't you dare ride in that condition - unless it's down-hill and with the wind in the back&nbsp\\;

Take it to the stealer ..

RE: Netural Light Stays On

I had the same problem with my 2007 Ultra classic. I took it to the dealer and, after waiting 3 hours, they said all they had to do was to clean the terminals on the neutral switch. Before I could get it home, the same thing again. I took it back and, after another 3 hour wait, they replaced the neutual switch. No problems after that. The problem I would have was not only would it not go out, but sometimes it would not come on! Difficult, but not impossible, to find neutral when the light does not work! I complained to H-D headquarters about the poor service, but..................

It is your neutral switch, and there is&nbsp\\;NO adjustment.&nbsp\\; This usually happens when it gets hot and when it cools down you will see it back to Normal.&nbsp\\; The part number now is 33926-06C, which means they are on their fourth revision of the switch.
&nbsp\\;
I decided to spend the $18 on the switch and replace it myself as opposed to waiting at a dealer to do it under warranty.&nbsp\\; It is a five minute job as the neutral switch is easy to get to with&nbsp\\;a socket.
&nbsp\\;
No matter what they tell you, terminals too loose, etc....There is no adjustment.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; The switch needs to be replaced.&nbsp\\; Mine went bad at 7500 miles on an '07 ultra.
