Had a failure to start last Wednesday. All normal with key on, hit start switch and nothing happened. Found the starting relay bad. It's between the start button and the starter relay. I used the auxilery relay. There are 4 relays in a box under the body piece, between the seats. Lovely to get at. Now I get CEL. Don't know why yet. | ||

Check the wiring at the bottom of your ignition switch. These are known to break. You might have to disassemble the bottom of the switch. | ||

Runs and starts fine now. Problem was definately the relay. Now I've got to figure why CEL comes on. Am wondering if fueling got confused when trying to start. | ||

Pull up diagnostic mode and see what codes you threw... | ||

Good thinking on the diag thing. Thx, will do. How do I clear the CEL? It goes off on starting sequence. Comes on about 10 seconds after starting. | ||

It's amazing what you can learn if you read. This morning I actually watched the display panel as the bike did its POST (power on, self test). It clearly read AUX PWR Fail, SYS something. I put the new relay in that I'd purchased last night. No CEL. Relay was $5.48 w/tax. Made in Italy, and it's a stock HD part. |
