I think it's the same as mine, that quit working entirely. One cold dark night out of town of course. I got to the connector, cut the wires to the switch and tied them all together. That was last fall. I still plug up my connector to crank it. Then I unplug it and put it in my pocket.
I'm gonna fix that one of these days......
Rotzaruck!

Switch? Or relay?

You know, Bryson City would be a great place to be broken down though. Especially if your bike was running.
If it was a little warmer you could go tube down Deep Creek!

Revz, I don't know your current Buell but your profile says S3.

The ignition switch from a HD Dyna FXD,FXDL are the same. so is the connector

hope that helps

Try spraying contact cleaner into the switch innards and working it back and forth- sometimes that'll get one working again. You can get that at Radio Shack.

Have you checked the kickstand "safety" switch?

Hey there bro- holler if need be, I'm in Maryville TN and may have free time Sunday or Monday.

Vern and myself would be quite happy to assist as schedules allow.

Vince (AKA Dragonslayer) also should be a little closer, IIRC.

Good Luck!

I hope he didn't decide to push it, it's uphill.

Thanks to all...It was the ignition switch...I was able to jumper and was able to get out, and made it to H-D for service...and finally made it home, to Mich.

Thank you very everyone who offered help, I can see now the strength of a smart phone (don't have one) hard to stay in touch..and I apologize for that.

Again, thank you all for your support...

Larry
