Question for Fix My Hog How do I replace the ignition switch (key area)? Via Email
Fix My Hog Answers First, you need to remove a small button head allen. You will need either a 5⁄32, or 1⁄8 allen (can’t remember which). May have to lift fuel tank to get at this bolt. From there, you are only dealing with 3 wires. I believe that they are Red, White & Green.

    Rode in to work - did my 8 hours, came out to start 03 FLHTCUI - no power. Nothing - no lights, no crank. started with obvious - load tested battery - all good. 13V. all fuses good. Followed power to the ignition switch. Switch has power going to it but no power when turning the key. I thought it was an obvious fix. power in but no power out replace the switch. I have a new switch yet still no power. What am I missing other than chasing every wire on the bike>
