03 Harley Electra Glide with starter gear problems


1999 2005 Harley Davidson FLHTC FLHTCI ELECTRA GLIDE CLASSIC Repair Manual

Video in first link may help. Can not find free service manual but the pay one above is an alternative to one from you can order via HD. Several HD forums out there such as http://www.harley-davidsonforums.com/forums/touring-general-discussions/35883-2000-electraglide-standard-what-watch-out.html

Check connections at the battery.
Most likely a bad ground.
If good may be starter relay or starter solenoid.
Also what was the last thing you had done resently to the bike?

Hi, Anonymous for this scenario you will need your service manual that has all fastener torque specs -fluid capacities and a wiring diagram on the back pages, parts fiche, and owners manual if you can not find the best tool you ever bought for your Harley, despair not, for a mere zero $0 you can download another one.

The green wire goes directly to the starter. When you look at the end of the starter, you see a pentagon (five sided) shaped piece of metal with three small bolts holding it on. There is a connector at the top of this plate. Thats where the green wires plugs into.

The other end of the wire goes to the starter relay. I am not sure where this relay is located on your bike but I would guess that it's under the seat somewhere. It's a small (about 1 inch) plastic cube. The wire from the starter button actuates this relay which in turn actuates your starter.

sounds like the starter is bad. if access to it easy for you then it can be removed and taken to your local repair shop and rebuilt. Or try locateing one on ebay.
