Loose Throttle Cable
So I bought chrome switch housings and am having a problem with the return cable falling out/not snapping into place. The other one snaps in and is tight. Is there supposed to be a c-clip to hold it on or is the hole in the new housing too large. Thanks.

Yeah there is supposed to be a small clip of some sort on the end of the cable. Never looked that close to see exactly how they attach. The cables should just push in and click into place in the switch housing. Maybe your clip got stuck in your old switch housing when you removed it? I am really just guessing. Good luck.

Just had this problem with my throttle return cable. There is a very small clip on the end of the cable. I had to order one from HD, but in the meantime, I took my thumbnails and pulled the existing one further apart, sort of spread it open a bit further and that's all it took. I still have the new one in a bag (#11271 Retaining ring)for a 2002 FLHT.
