Hoping someone can help or advise.
Tried starting my Deuce tonight and would not start.
Battery is less than 6 months old.
It looks like it didnt recognize the key fob.
Indicator lights kept flashing and it would not start, wouldnt even crank. Completely dead.
I find it bizzare that both key fob batteries wuld die at the same time and a spare key fob battery would also coincidentally be dead.
Would the smart system have died on me?
Main battery is good and I seriously do not think that is the problem.
I am thinking along the lines of the smart system or something like that.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

 

Update....
I have over-ridden the smart system to start it, and that works fine. When I shut it down, I have to over-ride the smart sytem each time.
Can it really be that simple that for the 2 fobs I have, all 3 batteries (1 spare) died at the same time?
I find that hard to believe cos I just don't get that lucky, but I will get a new set of batteries anyway and try them out to see what happens.
Easier to spend $5.00 to try to eliminate the problem

 

A volt meter is a pretty handy tool to have.

 

If all the keys are the same age might be yep. Real unlucky though.

 

Sound more like the fobs are not recognised by the bike's TSSM module. 3 batteries failing at the same time??????? Too much coincidence for me.

 

I replaced the batteries and lo and behold, all was ok.
But heres the deal. My #2 fob has since stopped working. I now know that that particular fob is definately a problem child because that fob stops working within weeks/month or 2 of a new battery.
I guess a replacement fob is in order for that one.


Thanks all for your input.
It has been greatly appreciated.
