06 Sportster 1200 - speedometer and gauge problem - Help please?!
-the speedometer doesn't move and is obviously not tracking miles (the back light is on and I can see the digital miles and I can change to the trip meter) -the neutral light does not light (but the turn signals do sometimes) -the fuel gauge does not light up (I assume there is one, correct?) What advice can you give to troubleshoot? Michele |

Harley Davidson Community (Speed Sensor Pickup Problem Symptoms) The neutral light could be a bad neutral switch on the trans causing it not to work or possibly a bad wire in the circuit. Check the fuses also. You have to fuel check the gauge to see if there is a light or not, probably there is and it may be a bad bulb but again, check the fuses. |

Glider, I will check the sensor....i think I read where it is. Regarding the fuses....I took them all out and eyeballed them and they look fine. What do you think?
