Power Commander V Blowing ECM Fuse?
Recently installed a stage I kit including a Power Commander V. Bike is a 2010 Ultra Limited with 1600 miles. After installing the PCV, rode the bike about 10 miles and she died on me. Pulled off the side of the road and it would crank, but wouldn't start. Had it towed to the nearest dealer. Dealer called and is telling me that with the PCV hooked up, the bike is blowing the ECM fuse. Unhook the PCV and the bike is fine. Does anyone have experience with this issue? Have heard of this issue? I did a search on the forum, but didn't find much info. Thanks.

Well if I remember correctly the PC doesn't send any current(there was another thread recently about PC and Jamie from Fuelmoto posted that). So I would have a hard believing the issue is from there. Call your PC dealer and then ask the SM at the stealer if he really knows wtf he is talking about.

they don't "send current", they "draw it" if anything. If it is a defective unit, possibly a short. short to ground, etc..... This would definetly cause the ECM fuse to blow when it exceeded the parameters of the fuse itself - doing what it's designed to do - protect the rest of the bike.......

I bet you find that its a defective unit. Dont fret too much, I know it sucks cause you want to ride,
I have had mine about 8 months, 5500 miles, runs like a scalded dog.
Keep us informed of the offical ruling.
