Default security problem on flhx?

Bike will not start, turn signals cycle back and forth. It seems the security on the bike is not reading the fob? Have changed fob batteries, but does not help. Bike ran fine the last time I rode it.

Looking for ideas.

Thanks.

Try the manual disarm procedure
Try different battery
Make sure you didn't put the battery in backwards

i highly recommend the free VTwin Reference App for your smart phone (if you have one)
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...r-v-twins.html
Developed by a forum member, it has some good info , like how to enter your security disarm code in case your fob craps out while you're out on the road.

The procedure is also listed in your owners manual.

Thanks everyone. I bought another new battery for the fob and things seem to be fine. I guess my other new battery must have drained somehow?
