Before just cutting wire think it through. With the ECM controlling all the functions on the new bikes you make create a issue by snipping wire.....
????Check engine light, etc?????.

Friday, just to Re-Fresh my Low fuel VIEW on my 09 FLHR so I could tell you HOW mine works, and good I might add.
Gas pump light came on (about 185 mi.), then a little later it started it's backwards mileage count-down.
Started off at 40 miles as that is about what I get per gallon. I wanted to run it low so I could see it happen like I describe here and before in my other posts.
The area I was in was hilly. It showed 36ish soon after pulling a few hills then going back to the 43 area as i went down the other side (no load on engine) a long steep grade. Miles approximated, showing the increase when easy No-Load on engine is there. (smart brain)
I ran it until it showed about 10 miles to go on the count-down. Then the other WARNING I told you about showed in the place of the mileage count-down "Lo".
I went to a station in a 1/2 mile and filled...
I KNOW it had 1/2 to 5/8 of a gallon of fuel left in the tank when the "Lo" appeared in place of the count-down-mileage at 10..
The First Warning (low fuel) light usually comes on when a gallon and a 1/2 is there.
The backwards countdown on the miles usually happens when just under a gal and a 1/2 is left. About 180 ish miles on the odometer when the 40 count-down appears and FINALLY it lights up the "Lo" looking light at 10 miles on the count-down, taking place of the count-down mileage, """ Lo """ appears...
SO I had a 1/2 gal fuel when at 10 on the count down.
I have a 6 gallon tank.
Hope this is clear enough.

It might be the different year and models?????
Remember my 09 tank is the newer 6 gallon style.. It came out way after your 05.
Correct me IF I'm wrong but the newer 96" bikes were the first to have the 6 speed and the 6 gallon tank...
Maybe a complete different type of monitor system also.
