2006 Ridgeback electrical problem

[robua373]

My Bigdog has been sitting in my garage for moths on a battery tender, it starts no problem and i had the battery tested and it is good.
While riding bike suddenly cuts off either by itself or when I use turn signals when it dies all idiot lights come on horn beeps for a split second and four way flashers start blinking. I hit run on cut off switch and it will refire.
Anyone had this problem? PLEASE help.

hello robua,, the guy i bought my from said that big dog changed the ignition switch because it would shout off while riding

try starting it... in the driveway/garage. wiggle the key in the ignition... see if it cust out then.

Also check the connections on the EHC. Remove the 2 small screws per connector and make sure they are packed with dielectric grease. If not clean/repack.

Also, check your battery connections. They sometimes wiggle loose.

I have a 2005 ridge back with less than eight thousand miles. I lost blinkers first then brake lights and now nothing no power to anything. All the connection were checked and battery is charged it appears to be ehc failure. My question is has anyone used the wiring kits to get ride of the ehc and does it work before I shell out the $$$. I have built and wired several bike in the past but I would like to keep all that came with the bike. A beautiful day here and my scooter is in the garage not good.
