I have a 2012 Harley-Davidson Sportster Evolution. I have NO digital clock/screen, horn,indicators,rear back/brake lights, reg light I have engine start Turn key to ignition,it starts,turn key slightly back a couple of mills and everything comes back on. So between ACC-IGNITION.I have connection. I also have digital clock display stand down,when it is up.
faulty ignition due to key vibration, buy after market round key ignition with 3 wires,Disconnect battery, splice into wiring loom, use electrical connectors to connect new wires into loom wires,If not get a electrical Mechanic to do it for you,Thats what i did cost £25to buy £20 to fit.job done,
Sounds like your ignition switch has a bad connection or contacts inside. Do you leave your bike outside or is it in a damp area? Try spraying some contact cleaner in the switch. Let it dry and see if that helps.
Thanks george,but its none of the above you wrote,My Harley is garage,I finally found out it was a contact inside ignition that had broke away due to flat keys riggling about because of vibration of engine,all 2015 wide glides also have same problem and have been recalled,over 3000 bikes. I had a new ignition fitted with round key,Problem no more.:) Kind regards Sam
I had the same problem. Ended up being rust inside the ignition switch. I had to store it outside for a few weeks. Had a cover on it, but the moisture rusted some contacts inside the switch. I took the ignition switch off, removed the C-clip retainer, GENTLY pried out the round plastic piece holding the contacts inside, cleaned everything really well and removed rust by soaking in penetrant and scraping, put it back together and worked perfectly.
