Hello Fellas,
I just bought a 1986 FLHTC about a month ago that has the annoying habit of loosing power to the Tach, Gauges, Turn Sigs, Oil Light & Nuetral Light. Additionally, the brake light does not work and when the system is acting up the lamp is out. When everything is working the lamp is on all the time. I have heard this is a "common issue", a "known problem" & "the white wire" but can't seem to find anything on the INet. I have poked around with the "white wire" but have not been able to get a change in the symptoms. Other than this the bike runs fine although when I left it sit for 2 weeks the battery had drained to the point that it would not start but did still light the lights.
