Fuses on a Harley Davidson fxstc making clicking noise?

Answer 1

This is typically a simple relay that is clicking. If the sound is coming from your fuse area, look for a small metal or plastic "can" that has two wires (or two plug in spades) going to it. It acts like a fuse except instead of "blowing out", it turns off and then resets over and over until the short malfunction is repaired (since it clicks, the relay is probably okay). If you can hear it click, you should be able to feel which one is clicking with your finger. Once you can Identify the relay, unplug it (or remove wire spades from it) and then see what does not work. Then check which wire to the relay has electricity going to it (all you need is a simple ($5.00) 12 volt test light with the alligator clip to a good ground and use the probe carefully so as not to touch the tip against anything other than the wire spade or connector spade). The one that does not have electricity is the one to follow to the source of the short. Could be as simple as a crimped wire or bare wire hitting a frame (ground), or could be as complex as a major electronic component. Good luck.
