I would love to get my old vin number with a person who could compare issues...

The HD dealer removed and replaced the entire main wiring harness.  Primarily this occured during stop and go traffic, but then again - the bike ran extremely hot so I dont know.

I like that theory. Makes all the sense in the world. I'll have to check out the crimps.

You would think Shodans dealer would have figured it tout before changing wiring harnesses though. Maybe they need to hire you. Is there a service bulletin going out on it? Just curious.

I guess we all should have a few extra fuses with us...  It has been soooooo long since I have had a blown fuse...  [smiley=drink.gif]

There is no srvs bulletin I know of out there on the crimps. But I do know through working on a lot of Harleys over the past 35 or so years the crimps do go bad. If you hook up a battery charger turn it on then turn on everything on the bike and let it sit for 15 min. ( No motor  running just all the lights on including putting tape on the brake lever to turn on the brake lights) . Then scan the wiring harness with an IR thermometer. It will find hot spots from bad connections even under the wiring bundle where a lot of ground wires come together . Bad crimps will also trip breakers not because of the load imposed but the resistance of a bad crimp on its connector builds up enough heat to trip it. Im talking over 175 deg.

Didnt read all the posts, but as a guess I would say it was the
ECM Fuse ...  have to take it out in good light and look at em.  Seems they can blow ...  15 amp blue one hard to see if it seperated in the unit ...  experienced it over biketoberfest :)

Blew 2 of em, but that was because of some testing I was doing ... bike turned over just never fired ....

Surely you didn't think you were going to get away w/that and not tell us what you were "testing"? [smiley=nixweiss.gif] :o ;) :D

Just saw the bike today - - - It was a wire resting against the throttle body and causing the fuses to blow - - -

Passed on either way   ;D

Zippers is working on the Thundermax for 07 Ultra's .... seems the Alarm system is complicating matters so they are working through this hiccup.

Nothing more to tell other than it was installed the bike started then blew the fuse....  Then another fuse...  So now you know.
