hello, new to this forum,but not Harleys (or motorcycles in general).

So lets get the ball rolling with my 1st question. i have an 01 Police model. i just replaced a faulty neutral light switch. now it works completely reverse of normal operations i.e; lights on when in gear,off in neutral? what the heck happened?
note, it shifts fine, no misses and all the gears are still there...wink!

thank you

Robin

 

Greetings and welcome to the forum!

I heard that running syn3 will cause that!

Take care,

it works, just reverse. i don't think synthetic will cause that.

 

Did you make sure the bike was in neutral before installing the switch?

 

yes, it was in neutral, but how would that make a difference?

 

wired backwards would be my guess.

 

I figured you were just joking since you had a 'wink!' after your question.

Can't help you there.

Take care,
Baldman

 

it is not wired backwards. i switched the wires on the posts, same results. is this switch wired thru a relay?

BTW, welcome to the forum. Go to Zanotti Motor after you find out the pn# for the electric diagnostic manual for your bike and purchase one along with the regular service manual. Best thing you can ever do.
