Default Security System Help
The key light does not blink, the turn signlas do not work and the bike will not start. Everything powers up, radio, lights etc but the bike won't start.

I checked the fuses but didn't see any that are blown. Not sure how to check the...not sure of the technical term, but the square three and four prong fuses.

It's a 2010 Ultra Classic.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

sure sounds like fuse. did you swap out the ignition fuse with one that works for sure, like the lights. Sometimes it is very hard to tell if they are blown, I've had them not blown and still would not pass current, could be bad even though it looks good.

Thanks for the reply. I just swapped out most of the 15a fuses with one that I know works. No luck.

One additional symptom is all of the gage lights work except for the speedometer and tachometer.

Change the battery in the FOB. They go out quick on the new ones. I've had the same problem and the new battery fixed it.

Nope. Tested it with a multimeter and it is fine. Less than a year old and always has a battery maintainer on it (HD). Thanks!

Miltimeter says the battery is good, 2.95v+. Thanks for the suggestion!
