I have checked out all the previous posts and I am still in need of ‘expert advice’
I am out of idea and options. Here is the problem. No spark to either plug. I just purchased this bike and have no experience with the new TC 88 motors or electronics. The motorcycle is a 2001 FLHTC carbureted. It has the security module under the seat, but was told it did not have this option installed. Here are the events leading up to the problem and what I did to resolve.
I was/am installing a Pingle electric shifter which came off my ’94 FLHTC and worked GREAT for 6 years. (I don’t have use of my left leg is the reason for the shifter.) I was told by Pingle that this shifter and modules would work on the newer bike. They forwarded the new install instructions. I disconnected both the positive and negative leads on the battery and began installing the electrical connections. The instructions stated to splice the module lead into the hot wire to the coil. The red comes from the electrical side and the yellow goes to the coil. So far so good, right? NOPE! The remaining wires go to the positive and negative on the battery and the last wire is spliced into a switched hot wire under the tank. After all this was done, I was ready to fire it up and hit the road. NOT! It turns over and no spark. Checked the coil and replaced with new, replaced spark plug wires all was good. I contacted the local HD dealer and they stated the only way to check the ICM was to bring it to the shop- I can’t do that since I can’t ride it and no vehicle to haul it. At this point, I removed all the shifter electrical connections and still nothing at the plugs. I reviewed and tried the configuration sequencing for the security system and still nothing. The check engine light come on for the 4 seconds and then goes out. I just found a web site called “GWIZ It’ this AM and have not had a chance to try the suggestions in the article, but will later today. Working seems to get in the way sometimes.
Soooo I am open to any opinions, options or ideas ANYONE can throw at me to get this resolved.
Thanks in advance
