If your bike ran and you replaced the battery and now you get no power to anything….WTF? Bad battery?

I made some suggestions on your other thread that you did not answer.
Good Luck.

 

Have you pulled the battery and taken it in to have it load tested? thinking this because when you say it is on the maintainer you get the flashing/clicking noises. Or if you have a real charger +10 amps or more try hooking that up and see if you get the lights to work......my 2 cents

 

I appreciate your input. You have to consider that I work ten and a half hours a day, usually have better than twelve hours invested when travel time is considered, so sometimes I don’t have access to the bike to answer questions.

I did find that the ground circuit the maintainer lead is on has 7.38 volts flowing through it. It grounds to the #2 ground location. I don’t know where that is on the bike, not sure where to find that information. That appears to be a good starting place though.

 

I recommend removing the BCM to inspect the pins and sockets to ensure they're all making good contact, and no pins appear burnt.
Reseating connectors is always a good idea when troubleshooting electrical things.

Thanks for that Jake. I do have the service manual with the schematics, but that makes it a little easier to follow the the ground circuit.

I disconnected the BCM this morning and the ground on the maintainer lead was still hot at 7.38 volts. This makes me believe that ground #2 is not making a good connection. The other question is what is feeding power into the system that needs to be grounded if the ignition is off. The way I understand this is if the ground was making contact it shouldn't show any power because it would be going to ground.

 

Any "good" ground should be at "zero" volts...what you have is a "bad" ground allowing it to "float" up in voltage...first fix the ground integrity and then go from there...

 

If you or anyone else knows the location of the #2 ground on the bike, please let me know. I'm sure I can probably track it down, but it would be nice to be able to go to it easily.
