Default Electrical problem!
I have a 2004 Road King, while riding the engine shut down and restarted while still in gear a half a dozen times now I've got nothing dash and lights are out. Turn ignition switch to the left and I get dash, front fender lights and odometer reading. I changed ignition switch no change, cleaned battery post's and checked voltage. Battery voltage going to switch and left side less than 1 volt on right side. Any idea What the hell is going on? Russ
