Fried something

[Mickmorris]

The 3rd pic is the opposite side. It seems like someone has done some wiring.

Interesting. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a fuse box like that before. The third picture looks like your thunderheart ignition module is right on top of the EHC which is the little golden color unit with the sticker on it. Can’t really see the manufacturer date. But looks pretty old.

It says 1239 for manufacturing date.

Looks to me to be a factory job. Wiring on these aint purty. Pic 3 looks like a fried harness but cant be sure?

Yeah I see that to Harry. Those wires do look a little chared….

 

[cgaroutte1201]

They've got some rub spots in them for sure, but I didn't notice any indications of burnt wires. I didn't see anything broken either.

I would suspect that the pliers holding the terminal on the battery back home most likely shorted out on the frame and fried your harness and who knows what else. This looks pretty bad. Sorry for your luck. Best wishes.

 

[cgaroutte1201]

I only used the pliers to start it.

 

[cgaroutte1201]

I appreciate everyone's input. I'm missing out on the final nice days of riding. I can't wait till it's fixed.

The EHC has no lights on it to light up, however my ignition module light is not on. Isn't this light supposed to come on when the key is turned on?

Yes it is. And flash while running I believe. Can you snap a pic of the wiring connection to the EHC. The EHC you have is probably the culprit. BigDog.net sells a new EHC that is fairly easy to install if you still have the OEM connectors which I am guessing you do.

 

[cgaroutte1201]

I may be buying an RIP kit it sounds like. Does it come with an ignition module?

 

[cgaroutte1201]

I just looked at one and it does not come with an ignition module. I'll see if I can't ohm mine and see if it's still good.

Yeah I can get a pic later today for ya.

 

[Snuffy]

Good luck. Hopefully it’s just the EHC. If you find other things fried I would be inclined to do a complete rewire.

Ditch it and put in a dyna2000I. That thunderheart is obsolete.

 

[Rottweiler]

Did you verify that the ignition module is getting 12 volts? Might just be no power.

I'll check it tonight. Thanks again everyone.

I found a thunder heart on eBay being sold by shovel head kicker.

On their website all they sell is the RIP kit, I didn't see just the EHC by itself.
