Default Ultra Issues

I have a 2010 ultra and when the ignition switch is turned to the on position the the bike starts (no starter switch required) - to add to this, with the bike running you can hear the starter engaging. Any ideas where to start trouble shooting this one?

Sounds like you probably have a start button issue in your right hand control, try turning off the eng run switch on the right hand control.

Try switching your starter relay with another relay.

To answer Tshelf's question - It wont run with out the fob near it - good, I cant produce the same problem when the start run switch is in the off position - good. Bars have not been changed yet however, I have them in the shop..

Ok, now as Harleycruiser pointed out try another starter relay (it failed internally) Id bet thats it. But if not there is a short in the starter button in the switch housing. But Id start with the relay first, easier to get to and test.
