Same thing happened to me when up a mountain that held a bunch of antenna`s - I think they were all cell antenna but could have been other stuff too - had to coast 1/2 mile down the hill with the alarm ringing before I could get it started.

Thanks, that is good information.
We were at Walmart Wife's Fatboy started and she pulled out. I was next to a pole at the front of the parking lot and my '10 Limited wouldn't start I rolled it away a few feet and she fired up, only time it happened. I didn't have a clue until I read your post.

Those electronic gizmos on the poles keep the shopping carts from leaving the lot. Funniest thing you'll ever see is someone trying to roll one out of the parking lot and having the wheels lock up. Gotta get a video camera.

The problem was RF intereference.

Simpler is better. The more black boxes, the more things can go wrong.

Just another reason to use a parking spot as opposed to making your own.

Hum? I have the HD anti-theft system on by my bikes and have parked them both by poles at Wal Mart and never had an issue, but will keep this in mind.
