Trouble in Paradise
1975 FLH Shovel
4 speed transmission
All is well... until tonight. While I was letting it warm up, it died. 100% will not ignite. Two things are present along with this... The start button dead, which is not the issue because I jumped the relay with no problem, still no ignition. And... the neutral switch light went out. Can the neutral switch bring one of these bikes to its knees?? I'm at a loss...
I push the start button, nothing... I jump the relay everything spins, no ignition. Neutral light has gone out... Run rocker switch?

I have had the very same thing happen to me. Behind the head light there is a connector that connects the white wire from the frame harness to the white wire on that goes to the ignition starter on the right handle bar. When you lose connection you lose power to ignition and starter.
Mine has failed me twice the first time it was burnt from over heating the second it lost conductivity momentarily.
I soldered and heat shrunk it this last time.
