Update: Throttle control acuator failed. My dealer spoke to the MoCo & they confirmed the actuator is bad. 2 days to get the part & then gotta wait for the white $%it to melt! Yeah, at least the problem should be resolved!

Is it the twist grip sensor or farther in? Not sure what the throttle acuator is.

It is the motor on the TB that opens the blade. Mine had an issue as well and it was the connector at the TCA(throttle control actuator) on the TB, it was corroded dirty whatever, cleaned it up and put some die-electric grease in the connector as per Harley Davidson's Tech Tip, TT418. He could probably just do the same to his if it wasn't under warranty, mine wasn't. They are probably replacing his so they can get paid to perform the service, I'd bet it's just the plug. Oh well, he should be good to go. I carry a little tube of D E grease in my bag, probably never need it now.
