Default Neutral Light Problem

2000 Road Glide Neutral Light flashes and stays on at road speed at any gear - does anyone know why or can you help. Thanks.

Check the connections on your neutral indicator switch. Or the switch itself might be bad.

Yup, neutral indicator switch is probably shot.

If they change the shift pawl and the switch and the o-ring and it still happens, Can there be a problem with the machining of the trans case?

Moisture in the oil will also cause this. Found that out the hard way.

Had the same problem on my bike. Ended up being the neutral switch. The stealer I bought the bike from couldn't fix it after 3 tries and told me I may need to have the whole transmission ripped apart. Went to another dealer and he had it fixed in 5 minutes by replacing the switch.
