2006 Softail Deluxe.
Wife pulled away from the intersection and half way through lost all power (elect). Checked fuses, no current to the fuse box or switch under the tank panel, Positive post was somewhat loose. Did have spark shorting a jumper wire across + & - on battey.
We now have it home. Checked the volts, 11volts. Have not put it on the charger.
Was told by a Kawasaki rider that his bike if below 10 volts there's a relay that will not let the current flow to the starter or switch??? Does Harley have this feature too?

Any help appreciated.

 

Check your 'kill switch.' A poster here awhile back pushed his 1/2 mile home, checked everything, then posted for answers here.

He'd inaverdently hit his kill switch when making a turn!

If that's not it, does the power come on when you turn on the switch? My switch went bad awhile back. I had to replace it and the plug that plugs to it. Total cost from JP, less than 60 bucks. HD wanted over 100 for a switch and didn't sell the plug unless I bought the whole wiring harness for 250.

 

11 volts is not enough to crank the engine most likely. I think you need a new one.

Checked kill switch...was still in the run position.
Checked volts prior to being placed on the charger, this is when it read 11 volts.
Shouldn't the fuse box behind the battery under the seat still be hot to all fuses on their hot side? is there another fuse box or a main fuse located somewhere?

 

If the fuse box is not hot check the circuit breaker behind the splash guard.

Drew

 

Splash guard as up under the rear tire opening where the security audio box for the TSSM is or can the breaker be accessed from under the seat if this is where your talking??

 

Yes, that is what I am referring to. the circuit breaker is recessed in a holder up at the very top and has two fat wires going to it.

Ok, found the problem. The ignition switch wire connector was broke off the circuit breaker stud. I can't find that particular wire in the manual only showing it leading to the circuit breaker so guess I'm off to the dealer to see what I have to purchase in order to replace the heavy guage wire. Hope I'm not told I need a complete harness but only the wire leading direct to the switch.

Thanks Dr V_TWIN!

 

I had the same problem. I got a new connector and crimped it on. It was yellow for a 10-12 gauge wire. Is the circuit breaker broken or cracked? You might want to figure out what caused this. Is there a metal splash guard on the bike?

HD told me I'd have to buy a complete wiring harness, for $250, when all I needed was the 3-wire plug to the switch. I found what I needed aftermarket for $18.

If they tell you it's gonna cost a lot ... check aftermarket.
