Blinkers Still Flashing......?
Well other day I noticed that my bikes blinkers were flashing and it wouldnt crank after turning key on. Read that it was more than likely the batteries in the key FOB. I got the other FOB and it did the same thing. So, replaced both batteries and it still does it. FOB is in the windshield bag so figured it was close enough. No cell phone in there with it to block signals. I can usually turn the key off and back on once, at the most twice and I can crank it. Any ideas on where to start?? thanks
I have the same problem. It seems like it is not picking up the signal from the FOB. I replaced the batteries and it seemed to work fine for a few days. I just have to mess with it. Turn the ignition off and on, or open up the FOB and close it. Sometimes it starts right up also so not sure what the problem is.

plan b is set a PIN, know how to enter it
then you are covered should the fob be lost or fail.
this stuff works on radio frequencies and more and more wireless stuff is used day to day wifi, phones etc.
even proximity of other H-D systems can momentariy confuse the security system.
and better that it default to "off" than "on".
with the PIN the rider is covered

Messed with it more this morning. If I take the FOB out and stick the key in the gas tank door with FOB hanging there no flashy. I tried it several times and same thing. Put it back in the windshield bag and there we go back to flashy.
I live in the country. We leave our keys in our cars and sleep with our doors unlocked. You can call it stupid or lucky, whatever but thats just the way I was raised.

Dont the bags mount to a steel bracket. Could be just enough to interfear with the signal from the fob

I didnt buy security, it just came with the bike I found, LOL. My old Softail went all over the place and I NEVER took the key with me.....matter of fact when I sold it I had to hunt for it to give it to the new owner.
