Major Electrical Problems on 2006 FLHT w/ ONLY 5k miles.

2006 FLHT w/ ONLY 5k miles on it. First turn-signals, then speed-do & tac, replaced burnt fuse for battery 2X's. Then, the battery wasn't getting charge. Dealership says the bolt may have backed-off the stator & they will likely need to replace all associated parts including the crank shaft!! 7-9 hundred $$ probable cost. That just doesn't sound right to me, how bout you?
AND.. another guy was in the dealership for the SAME problem, He said it first happened when the bike was still under warranty, they fixed it and now, only 10k miles later, it happened again !!
Anyone know of a recall?

A friend of mine had to have his entire wiring harness replaced on his 2007 Ultra because of blowing the main fuses. But his was almost brand new. Good luck

Can you switch a 2 amp fuse with a 5 amp and not blow anything?

Never use a higher amperage fuse in place of smaller amperage fuse . Could cause electrical fire's , burn the vehicle up. Besides that fuse is a low voltage input to the BCM - body control module . That wouldn't be the problem anyway , cruise control is computer controlled . You don't have the knowlege to fix this , your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop . They would hook up a scanner that can view data , read code's . All your doing is guessing an that won't fix it. You have no clue of the complexity of the computer systems on your vehicle .

Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal driving conditions at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). Steep grades may cause variations in the selected vehicle speeds.
The following are the main components of the cruise control system:
• The accelerator pedal
• The brake pedal position (BPP) sensor
• The body control module (BCM)
• The cruise on/off switch
• The + RES switch (equivalent to resume/accel switch)
• The - SET switch (equivalent to set/coast switch)
• The engine control module (ECM)
• The clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor, if equipped with a manual transmission
• The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor
• The vehicle speed sensor
The body control module (BCM) monitors the signal circuit of the cruise control switches, which are located on the steering wheel. The BCM relays the cruise control switch status to the engine control module (ECM) via the GMLAN serial data circuit. The ECM uses the status of the cruise control switch to determine when to capture and maintain the vehicle speed. The ECM monitors the vehicle speed signal circuit in order to determine the desired vehicle speed. The ECM uses the TAC motor in order to maintain the vehicle speed. For further information on the TAC system, refer to Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description for the 2.2L engine or to Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description for the 2.4L engine.
Ignition voltage is supplied to the cruise control switch from the 2-ampere EPS fuse located in the integrated BCM fuse block. The cruise control function switches are arranged in a resistive ladder design, with each cruise control function switch having a different resistance value. The BCM detects a specific voltage value that is associated with the cruise control function switch being activated. When the normally open cruise control on/off switch is turned ON, the switch closes and the BCM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the ECM indicating that the on/off switch is active. Similarly, when the normally open + RES switch or the normally open - SET switch are pressed, the switch closes and the BCM detects the predetermined voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit. The BCM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the ECM indicating that the + RES switch or the - SET switch is active. The + RES switch or the - SET switch will remain inactive when the BCM has not received the predetermined voltage signal from the on/off switch.

2004 Trailblazer cruise control stopped working, all signal lights are functional, and the SES is not on.

Crank & cam sensors would not have anything to do with it . Now if the vehicle didn't run (no spark or fuel injector pulse ) sure. The vehicle does start an run , Right ?
What engine does it have ?
Cruise Control Description and Operation (4.2L)
Cruise Control Description and Operation (5.3L)

Your vehicle has electronic throttle control (drive by wire ) do you know what this is. Complex electronic's invloved . The cruise control switches are located on the multifunction/turn signal lever.
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the signal circuits of the cruise control switches in order to determine when to capture and maintain the selected vehicle speed. The PCM uses the throttle actuator control (TAC) module motor in order to control the vehicle speed. For further information on the TAC System, refer to Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description in Engine Controls - 4.2 L.

The PCM will engage and adjust vehicle speed based on the information received from the TAC module via the UART serial data link. For further information on the TAC system, refer to Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description in Engine Controls - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L.

Your best bet , take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop that has the knowledge an diagnostic scanner to trouble shoot your problem .
Complex electronic's involved .definitely need a factory or professional type scan tool .

Your turn signal's & hazards problem is probably the smart flasher ,(GMSF) is an automotive flasher designed to accept turn, hazard,

Yes. It will cost a lot of money to fix, and probably several trips to the shop.

Error code p1271 on trailblazer

That trouble code is faulting the accelerator pedal sensor. The APP sensors are located in a TAC module mounted to the accelerator pedal bracket. There are three individual APP sensors within the TAC module. Three separate signal circuits, low reference circuits, and 5v reference circuits are used to determine the accelerator pedal position. The APP sensor signal voltages increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

The following diagnostic codes P2104, P2111, and P2112 the engine failure mode appears car wont move turn it off and on again and its fine with just the check engine light Happens several timesaday now

all the codes point to throttle body. clean throttle body, especially around throttle plate. check for loose wires, if problems persist. replace throttle body. p2104 is tac system forced idle, p2111 is tac system stuck open, p2112 is tac system stuck closed. clean throttle body good, and see if this fixes it. then go from there. have a good day !!

Yamaha at night my speedometer and tac lights rent

You should be able to access the speedo and tac lights via the rear of the console. Check the bulbs and replace if required. If this does not help, please reply or further information

We have a 2009 Subaru Tribeca with 16,000 miles and it is using approximately 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles. Subaru says this is normal and I want to know if other Tribeca owners are having the same...

Now I am really depressed. We thought we have a change from driving Honda and Toyota so we decided to buy a new 2009 Tribeca. My first oil change for this car was 1800 miles, after breaking in. I replaced it with 7 qts of Mobile 1 Full Synthetic. Currently, the car has 8900 miles, that is 7100 driven; unfornately, I just filled 3 qts of new Mobile 1. Luckily, I check!!! Is this normal for Tribeca? If so, this is the worst investment of a lifetime. I won't ever buy Subaru again or recommend to anyone!!!

Bearing problem? in 2006 Pilot

Even though you had the brake pads replaced, and since the sound you describe is a "rubbing" sound, I would suspect that the brake caliper piston is sticking and causing brake drag. The only way to check is to pull the wheel and check the caliper. If it is sticking, it will wear the pad out quickly and wll generate heat. After driving, check for excessive heat coming from the wheel. It could be a wheel bearing, but I would check out the brake caliper first. Sure hope this helped. Good luck.
