Greetings:
I own a completely stock FXSTC except for, foot pegs, foot control pads and luggage rack. i.e.: no mods to engine/exhaust or electrical of any kind.
Model: Softail Custom (FXSTC)
Year: 2008
Mileage: ~23K
I am seeking two things:
Last weekend i had a melt-down of the rear wire harness connection inside the tail light housing. The melt-down (perhaps even a small fire) appears to have originated where the rear wire harness connects to the small circuit board that distributes current - via three seperate connectors - to the tail-light bulb, and the left/right turn signals (one connector for each).
The melt-down (fire) completely destroyed the wire harness connector (the apparent source of heat/fire), the circuit board and each of the other three bulb connectors. In addition, heat/fire damage was caused to the license plate bracket to which the tail light is mounted as well as the tail light seal.
I anticipate needing to replace the following:
Thank you for your consideration of my problem.
