When i press the ignition switch in i hear a tick but will no ign

When i press the ignition switch in i hear a tick but bike will not turn over. The stand is up and the engine cut out is in the on Position. I can bump start the bike but it will not start using the switch. I have replaced the battery and acording to the bike its reading fine.

  • angrybeever Aug 02, 2009

    The battery is brand new and i have checked it is in full working order. But i think the starter may be missing. I have some loose wiring that looks like it should connect to the starter relay but i cant seem to find the actual relay. Are these easily dislodged?

This is usually a weak battery, dirty battery connections or both. In some cases the solenoid for the starter is bad requiring the starter to be serviced or replaced.

Disconnect the 2 cables on the starter relay and touch them together. This should make the starter turn and may even start the engine if the ignition is on. Be careful though, one of the cables is connected directly to the battery so don't let it touch the frame and only connect the 2 cables momentarily or you could burn out the starter motor wiring. If it turns over then the relay is at fault and needs replacing.

How do you access trouble codes on 2003 harley davidson deuce?

With the newer HD Security Systems using proximity FOBs where the key FOB needs to be close to the bike to start, this is now more important then ever. If the battery in your FOB dies and you have not set your Harley Alram Override PIN Code, you will not be starting your bike. It is just as important for those with oler Harley Davidsons with the push button alarm FOB. It you set your alarm and the battery dies before you return to your bike, again you will not be starting the bike.

If you haven't set the PIN over ride for your HD security alarm system...do it now! Here's how you do it...

Security key on and bike wont start

First, open fob and make sure battery is making good contact and no corrosion on contacts.

Also, you might need a new fob battery.

Finally, if you know the security code, you can disable the security system.

DO NOT sit on seat, lift bike off kick stand, or anything else that will activate the security mode!

Turn IGN to IGNITION.

Quickly (within 2 seconds) hold BOTH turn signal switches until confirmation signal (KEY icon flashes at fast rate, in odometer window, a flashing "-" will be followed by 4 more dashes = "----")

Enter 1st digit (a) in PIN by pressing LEFT turn signal switch (a) times (i.e., 5 times for the number 5)
The 1st "-" will become the 1st digit (i.e., "5")

Press RIGHT switch signal 1 TIME.
The 1st digit is stored and the dash will flash.

Enter 2nd digit (b), and repeat sequence until done.

After the 5th digit is entered, the KEY icon stops blinking, and the system is disarmed.

The system will stay off until the IGN switch is turned off.

If at any time during disarming sequence an error is made, wait 2 minutes before trying again.

I've charged my battery, but my bike still won't start. Also, the security light is on, but I have my key fob in my pocket.

The usual reasons the fob doesn't disarm the security system is:
1) a damaged fob
2) discharged fob battery (Panasonic 2032 or equivalent)
3)electromagnetic interference
a. verify the fob in not in a metal enclosure or within 3" of any other electronic device.
b. place the fob on the seat, start motor and return fob to pocket.
c. move the bike at least 15' from the spot of interference.
With the Fob near the bike, try disabling the security system.

You'll need the PIN number.
If you don't know it, you'll have to change it to a 5 digit PIN number you select.

Lost my FOB I have a new one but I cant turn the alarm off, I called harley and they said to turn on the bike and immediatly push both left and right blinker buttons, Ive done this probably 30 times and it...

OK so here is your solution. from your dealer when you purchased your bike with the alarm system you were given a 5 digit pin number. in order to turn it off manually you need to unlock (if locked) the switch, turn it to accessory.
push both left and right blinker buttons in
with the left blinker button is you "digits" so if (ex 56726) push the left button five times
to go to the next button push the right blinker one time then left six times
the right blinker one time and left blinker seven times
then right two times right once
left six times and right once. this will turn off the alarm

to program the fob you need to turn the ignition switch in a sequence of
on off on off on
with the blinker buttons you push
left left right left and your signals will flash the hazards twice
push and hold the fob button till the hazards blink three times and you have just programed your fob
push and hold your fob to set alarm and double click to disarm your alarm
