Thank you for the video. I own a 1994 Heritage; yours must be an earlier model. It always have been somewhat annoying that I had to turn the switch to "Lights" position to be able to start the engine. Thanks to the diagram that you are showing in the video now I know how to rewire the connections on the switch without risking any short circuit. Now I will be able to start the engine in the "Ignition" position, while the lights are not on yet.

Beautiful bike Lee! Great tutorial and excellent use of vocabulary regarding technician/mechanics trade. Liked the way you persisted on checking and double checking. Also taking the negative cable off the battery first. I've seen that mistake numerous times. People don't realize when they don't do it properly what they created is a rudimentary arc welder. Nice job, well done.-jason

Parker Ridge Thanks Jason!! I used to work a decent paying factory job ( for 26 years) and bought this while working there.....they shut down on us about 3 years ago. I sometimes think about selling it (during winter of course lol) but realize I probably wouldn't be able to afford another so I hang on to her. Thanks for the kind words, I often stumble around finding the correct word!!! ALOT!!!! I have fried many a component by not checking/rushing wiring. I have also had the battery make contact by leaving it in the bike..now it comes out. Good point on the arc welder!! Thanks for watching my Friend, Take Care, Lee

It's called a trip meter. To get the chrome cover off you have to unscrew the little screw inside the knob (Phillips screw driver) pull out the knob. Then undo the nut (1/2 inch I believe) then the cover come off. The trip meter screw is very soft , easy to strip. If you can't get it out your gonna have to cut the knob back past the hole. Knob is plastic. You can use a dremel to cut it close to the hole then heat a screw drive to finish. Knob and screw are hard to find on 90's bike. I found 3 on ebay bought them all. Got luck.

How do the wires looked, burnt, cracked? It maybe well worth the cost to replace the switch versus an electrical fire.

@LeeRalph100
8 жыл бұрын
Good Question! I had never given that much thought really. But if it is a stock switch if I remember correctly the terminals configuration is basically the same on each side regardless of how it is turned. The problem I could see is if switch is turned upside down, the wiring would have "rotate" also to follow the same order as right side up except upside down so that the lights and ignition are still to the correct terminal. I hope that makes sense. I really need to go out in the garage and play with that a bit to be sure! I would think if wiring was correct, and switch just flipped around and wiring left as it (going to wrong terminals because switch is reversed) you risk frying the switch...or worse. Without seeing the wiring myself, this is just a guess, please verify that the correct wires are to the correct terminals..Please do not fry your bike on a guess by me! Sorry I had not thought about it before, I hope this helps.

Take it back if their work is still under warranty. It does sound like something is either grounding or miswired. as far as how much harness needs replace again is guess work without seeing it. If you are going to do the work, chase the wires find out how much is fried. Get a schematic!!!! It may have a main harness and then smaller harnesses, see what all hooks together in each harness. You may just have to re do a couple wires, if lucky. I am not sure if I understand your last question. .Sorry not much help. Let me know what you end up doing!

I have never had to change mine, I am surprised that I find no info about it in my manual and very little info online. What bike do you have?

I would not be sure on the sportster. I found this online. I would try to run it by a sporster forum if you could. Good Lucck i45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/stern666/WiringDiagram.gif

Sorry for not answering sooner, Yes if there is not a continuation of circuit..in other words a dead short , broken wire or connection, etc.

I am sorry about that, I really thought that part was pretty self explanatory and did not want guys complaining that I wasted time on the obvious. Sorry about that.

Sorry for taking so long in getting back to you. I am looking into this a bit, I do not want to steer you wrong...I would hate to see you burn up the wiring because I gave you faulty info. I will say thought that I had the same issue once and it was a faulty switch. I will get back with you on this. Thanks for watching and the question

Sorry, I did not mean to forget you, just got busy, did you get this solved. My only thoughts would be to first make sure they did not install the switch upside down..it happens lol...Do you have a manual? I would wire per the manual. I hope this helps

Yes over 10 minutes of useless talk just to hook it up to wiring that's intact. I wanted to know how to reassemble the ignition switch itself.

Here is a quick pointer...Try then maybe a search for a video called " how to reassemble the ignition switch itself"..not one called "Softail Ignition Switch REMOVAL And INSTALLATION".. Thanks for watching and have a GREAT day!

Sorry about all the talk, I thought getting the chrome of was pretty straight forward and did not want someone complaining about me wasting time on the obvious
