2004 XL1200C hadn't been started in about 5 weeks. It cranked over a couple of times but never caught. Then just the clicking sound. Figured the battery ran down. Lights work at this point. I jumped it (per manual) and nothing, no clicking, no turning over, nothing. I take the jumper battery off and smell an electrical burn with a little whisp of smoke from under the seat generally in the area of the battery. Got the seat off within 30 seconds and nothing is hot, looks burned, or damaged. Have checked every fuse, and the one relay at the fuse box. Battery shows 12.2 volts, a little low but nothing on the bike works, no lights, horn, starter, etc.
So what did I mess up and need to replace? I really don't want to haul it to an HD dealer. Thanks in advance.
