Red key light on and it won't start
2009 Street glide 9,000 miles on it. It is in Neutral and the switch is on ignition. I get no yellow engine light just comes up with a solid red key. The blinkers don't blink either if that has anything to do with it. It just blows my mind. The bike ran fine until I tried to start it back up.

I would re-check the battery terminals, and look and see if maybe one of them is broken, worn, or frayed. Also take a look at the run/off switch. Maybe the switch went bad the

I tried that. I had a fuel PAC on took that off and made sure the connection was good. It has a brand new battery that was also installed at dealer. I am hoping the dealer will come and pick it up. Just really stinks to have a busted bike after you just dropped 400 at the dealer.

Check the fuse again. This happen on my 2011 Ultra limited. I forgot which fuse pops it. I put in my custom dynamics run brake signals with an aftermarket relay or wiring harness that splits the brake and turn signals and not from custom dynamics.

How do you know if the relay is bad? I checked all the fuses on the fuse box and the two fuses in the fairing and the fuse by the battery on a wire. Is there a way to to determine what the red key constantly lit on means and no yellow engine light when you turn the ignition on.

How did you check the fuses?....you should pull them out and check them with a meter..out of the circuit..I have seen more than 1 fuse appear good, but be bad when tested correctly. Also, have you checked for any DIAG codes?
