nothing but problems

[vigilanty21]

if its not one thing its another. ran my 08 pitbull for 3 days straight in between 75 and 100 miles per day. went to start it yesterday and nothing. no lights no odometer test or anything. checked the battery and the battery is goodand holding a charge. any suhggetstions would be great.

maybe bad key switch.. but really 100 miles a day aint shit.. under warrenty????

 

[vigilanty21]

it is under warranty. but that doesnt cover man hours spent tooling over what the issue is.

 

[Eric]

do a search & check if the light come on the ehc when the key is turned on.... check all elect connection on the battery.. how many miles on the bike.. as if its alot that might be the reason for a lose wire somewhere due to viberation..

 

[vigilanty21]

EHC lights up and its just under 4000 miles.

 

[Eric]

check this... not sure what you have

Plus,
Check "both" of your EHC "D" connectors for being clean and filled with dielectric grease.

Hope this helps! :2thumbs:

did the check. pc link didnt come on (cause not linked). compress relief valve light didnt come on. controller and starter lights were very weak. i think there is a short because when i was toolin around if i even look at one of the ground wires everything goes black and all the lights go off. any hints?

In your first post you said the battery is good and holding a charge. Did you measure the voltage? Do you have a minimum of 12.8 volts? How old is the battery? Original? Is it kept on a tender? Do you have power to your headlight and signals?

 

[Eric]

if the battery checks out like you said.... then check all elect.connectors.. key switch.. even the main harness connections on the ehc like dead said.. once you get it running you need to check the charging system for proper charging...

Battery has to be in great shape, not just good shape. Its the cause of many problems if it's not doing it job.

It will probably end up being the battery. Put a new one in, so you can rule it out.

 

[vigilanty21]

pulled the battery, tested the battery, battery still pushing 12.8. went through each set of wires leading from the battery and found a ground wire dangling not even attached. thatll do it. i also agree that the battery is a bitch to remove. thanks for helping with my issue. now i know exactly where to go with my questions.

glad you got it....
