Default stalling out problem

While riding my 03 Electra Glide Classic in very hot temps and stop and go heavy trafic it has shut down on me four times over the last six months. After 30 min. or more it will restart and I can drive for hours as long as I'm on the open road. I have had two different dealers, one in Florida and one at home, check out the entire bike and everything checked out fine. The only suggestion they offered was a possible over heating of the circuit breaker and after a cool down period it will reset. Anyone experience a simmilar problem or can offer advice? Thanks.

circuit breakers do operate thermally and are often mounted close to the rear cylinder and exhaust header. ( and they do reset when they cool)

when you have had this problem, have you lost all lights, radio etc ? if so, that would indicate the circuit breaker.

circuit breakers do get weak over time, you could replace it or reposition the breaker under a side cover, away from motor heat

Fuel injected? Could be TPS sensor or crank sensor. Any codes?
