My left side saddlebag lock will not lock with the key fob when the lid is closed (right side and Tour Pak lock normally).  I can open the lid and press the lock button on the fob and it locks fine, just not when closed.  What do I have to adjust on to fix this?

I had the same issues on my left bag, dealer replaced actuator under warranty.
A month late my other bag doing the same, replaced under warranty.
This was on a 2017. Got tired of all the issues and traded for a 2019. So far, no warranty issues (other than the “normal” oil transfer from transmission to primary). Also fixed under warranty.
Hopefully all will be fixed under the 2 year warranty.

I thought I heard that an adjustment can be made to it so it works.  If the bag is open and I lock it, the lid lever to open the bag will not move, meaning its in the locked position.  But with the lid closed and I lock it, it will not lock.

If you do find there is an adjustment, please let us know.

Check to make sure nothing is preventing the lid from closing properly. Might be part of the seal getting in The way.

Lube the lock cylinder and inspect the back of it where the cable attaches to the cylinder.   Use some light oil.  Like Air tool oil.    Make sure the latch slides don't have anything in them and lube them as well.   Other than that the only other thing might be a weak or failing actuator.

You can refer to this thread for some pics so you have a better idea what's going on...

Try hitting the lock button twice with a short delay in between each press of the button.  If the bag locks that way, it might indicate an actuator that requires more current and voltage than normal to fully cycle, or it may indicate you aren't getting full current and voltage to that actuator due to poor connections.  Or disconnect the other actuators so the one you're having a problem with is the only one drawing current, see if that makes any difference.

I agree with Phreakyz, start by closely inspecting, cleaning, and lubricating all the moving parts.  See if there is any binding when you lock the bag manually compared to the other bag and TP.  A failing actuator can cause the problem, but before replacing parts make sure it isn't just a simple binding problem with that one lock.

Nothing is blocking it (lid is closing all the way) and pressing the lock button multiple times does not lock it.  It is smooth as silk when the lid is open, but just does not do it when the lid is closed.  Lube did not help.

There's a notch under the lid hinge where the cable for the keylock passes through. Problem was the clearance was off a bit. A couple of hits with a dremel tool solved it.

Hi I own CVO ultra limited anniversary 2018 the central looking switch on bike doesn’t work only the key fob will lock the bike it’s been in to dealership they have checked switch,wiring,fuses,relays,and can’t find a definite fault has anyone had similar issues

My 18 CVO RG at dealer now for the some thing.Never have worked I'll had it for almost 2 yrs so get it did under factory warranty

I noticed on my 2020 CVO Limited that the remote fob wasn't locking the left bag, though when I did lock it with the key in the lock, it would remotely unlock no problem. If I apply quite a bit of pressure on the top lid, then it locks fine. I looked inside the latch where the cam moves to lock and unlock, and it moves freely. But when the lid isn't being pressed down, it doesn't remotely lock. It's like the sliding latch is weak when it's under electric power. Weak actuator or maybe it will break in?

I've been following this as occasionaly my left big does this. What do you mean by "CLOCKS"?

[paulblk]

The lock and unlock switches on dashboard sends signals through the clocks (speedometer and revcounter cluster) which my dealership replaced and all works fine again and under warranty so no £ 😀👍
