Fix My Hog Answers First check to see if you have any stored diagnostic trouble codes. You may have a bad crank position sensor or a bad ignition. If you have no further clues, try the crank position sensor 1st.

    I have a 2009 Fatboy 96 cubic in I fart at first I thought it was water in the tank then I drained it completely and it's still doing it it's throwing a code p 0373 and when I look it up it says ckp sensor intermittent I'm not sure why where it's located or what to do from here

    I have a 2003 ultra classic with no spark. should I have power to the coil with ignition on. I replaced the ignition already. All fuses good. I did notice the system relay kicks on then back off.

    Tengo una Softail Delux 2008 al salir de trabajar ya no quizo encender pensé que la batería estaba muerta pero en un intento encendió sin problema alguno, al día siguiente ya no quiso encender nuevamente cargue la batería y tampoco, compre batería nueva y la instale y no quiso revise códigos de error y me marca número de piezas P68925-07 y P67439-08 entiendo que uno es el modulo de seguridad pero si recibe señal del llavero pero no deja encender el motor solo deja hacer chispa muy baja

    I have the exact same issue on my 99 Sportster, the ignition module is bad. It can be easily tested by removing the plate to expose the module. with the key in the on position (make sure your in neutral) hit the starter button, if the light on the module blinks while cranking, it's no good. My bike has only 26,000 miles on it! Screaming Eagle Sucks!

    I have a 94 fxsts rode 100miles then the low beam burnt out. 2 more blocks the high beam blew. 4 more blocks I got home. shut it down. and went inside. in thew morning I turned the key and nothing. I looked at breakers and the ignition breaker had two red wires connected to on side had come off. charged the battery . put the wires back on and when I turned the key the dash lights came on but the battery droped to 10 vdc. what happened?

    I have a 96 softail, when I turn the ignition switch nothing happens, No lights on the dash, odometer, head light, or tail lights. Brand new battery, I charged it back to 100% and still nothing. Any ideas?
