OP, this project almost never goes the way you expect or want it to. The World Wide Web can't help you when it's time to realign everything. Ya just gotsta get 'er done...I know this because I've fouled this job up the way you did twice now!

Default 2010 Ultra Key start problem

Been a few months since original posting. Surprised no one has responded. Maybe I'm the only one having this problem. Off to the Harley dealer a second time for the same problem before my warranty is expired. ****'s being on the road and can't lock your bike.

Ok, well ... sounds like a warranty issue? Is your dealer not correcting the problem?

They say that it's not a frequent enough problem to put engineering on it. So in the mean time I just live with it. If I wiggle it enough times so far it corrects itself. It's like having that dead battery feeling when it happens. Except dead battery I have a jump pak. Thx for your reply.
