On my 05 Sportster nothing lights up when the key is on battery and fuses are good what could be the problem It works on occasion.?
It sounds like a bad ignition switch. You should be able to take the switch off and take the wire leads off of the switch. If you touch the positive to negative and everything works correctly, then the switch is bad. Before you do this I would ensure that the power from the battery is getting to the bike so check the terminals.
2005 Harley Sportster and when you go to start it in the morning it wont start battery checked out okay but seems that speedometer is draining battery overnight why?
I have this same problem on a 2009 street bob. Let me know if you find an answer. Mark
You removed the battery post then reconnected it and still the sames problem The 4x4 is still on and makes a bad noise?
If the noise is caused by a Mechanical problem, disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it will do NOTHING to fix the problem.
I replaced the battery on my 2006 sportster the lights come on but the motorcylce won't startturn over?
Assuming it started and ran before you changed the battery, and changing the battery actually is when the problem began, the starter relay wire has been left off and needs to be connected at the battery terminal. I would need more information to diagnose it further.
When you turn the key to the on position in your 1992 Sonoma nothing comes on what is the problem?
Dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cable? Blown fusable link?
How do you remove and repair a 1999 Harley Sportster starter that only makes clicking sounds?
First check the battery, then check the starter solenoid by taking a peice of wire and touching the 12v pos. battery cable to the top of the starter where it goes in. It says in the manual to take it to a dealer because you have to take the starter apart to get to the solenoid... But i think it is the solenoid.... i had the same problem with my 1998 sportster XL 1200s. I took mine to a dealer.
Turn key nothing happens two or three times then car starts fine Battery?
most likely the solenoid on the starter or could be a key switch problem doesn't sound like a battery problem

When you turn the key on your 1999 Dodge Durango you get nothing Have replaced the starter Battery and wires good What could be the problem?
Sounds like the ignition switch.
1978 Trans Am 400 ci totally rebuilt The car will not start this is not a battery problem Nothing happens when you turn on the ignition What could the problem be?
Is the car in park? Do the lights turn on? If so are the dim, or bright? If no lights you likely have a dead battery. From there I would check fuses. Good luck.
Where is the maxi-fuse located on a 1998 harley Davidson sportster?
I recently encountered the same problem and the answer is...It doens't have one! It has an older style circuit breaker located just in front of that row of 15 amp fuses located to the left of the battery. It's a 30 amp circuit breaker. If you figured out how to get your bike fixed even after fixing that, let me know, because I just replaced mine and STILL nothing. I've used my voltimeter on every inch of the bike and all cables as well as battery read good.
