Battery spark

[kv69]

Hooking up battery on my 2001 electra glide I get sparks. Put test light on neg terminal and neg post test light lite. I then checked all fuses light did not go out any suggestiions from there ?

You will get a spark when hooking the cable up. There is a small draw when first connection is made.

Well this is a pretty strong spark and then it sounds like a relay or something is opening and closing.

 

[glider]

Is the ignition switch on?

 

[kv69]

No and the kill switch is off

 

[glider]

Time to isolate the circuit that is drawing the power and see if it is normal. Try pulling a fuse at a time and see where the draw is coming from.

Did that light stayed lite on I pulled one fuse at a time.

Is there only one fuse box ?

 

[glider]

Should be only one main fuse panel unless some inline fuses have been added. Unplug the voltage regulator and test it again.

DId that light stayed lite for every fuse

Do you have a radio and/or a clock on this bike? That would light the light.
