Welcome from Baton Rouge!

Well, since you are new here and we really have no idea what you do know, the 1st thing to make sure of is that the kill switch on your right handlebar did not get switched off inadvertently. Don't take offense -- that happens all the time. Don't ask me how I know...

What else do you have or not have Clean all connections at Battery and frame and Starter. Charge the battery with a real charger and not a battery tender . and then try it . if you hear a clicking but no Start could be starter relay under seat or lh orrh side cover Looks like the new style flasher unit . If still nothing Take battery to auto parts and have load tested they will do this for free but ask first don't Assume . let us know how you progress

Glad to see you introduced your self first when you got here..

 

If your battery is measuring 12.6 volts it's low. Should read at min. 12.8 volts. Charge battery with a real charger,( not a tender) and try again.

 

Kill switch is on. No offense taken, I have been a mechanic my whole life, just not to familiar with bike electrical system.

 

Battery being at 12.6 it should still click. I don't get anything. I also tried to jump start it from my truck. No luck.

 

Does the 2007 have the neutral safety crap on it? I don't know when they started putting it on. If so, check that first.

 

Big John, The battery is two months old and is showing 12.6 volts. All connections have been checked and cleaned. All the accessories work fine. Just at a loss. I'm thinking maybe the start switch is the problem. When I get home tonight I will check the wires for the start switch as I changed grips a few months ago.

Ah-Ha, I missed this my first read through. It's the first place I would look.

 

Chasarms, there is a neutral safety switch. I tried it in gear and out of gear. Even rocked the bike back and forth in gear. Still nothing.

 

Does your neutral light come on when it's in neutral?

BTW, it's very easy to goof up that little clutch safety switch when you take the control housings apart, which I assume you did when you put the grips on.

 

I had a bad battery with a dead cell and we couldn't push start or jump start my bike. I'd get your battery tested. Free/cheap

 

Phdharley50,
I plan on picking up a new battery and start switch on my way home tonight. Hopefully something will work.

 

Been a mechanic all your life and you're going to throw parts at the bike hoping to get it right !
I would do some basic testing before just throwing parts at it.
There's a connector plugged into the top of the starter, green wire. Unplug the connector and probe it for B+ while pushing the start button. If it shows volts the start button is good.
Then take a jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to that same connector plug on the starter, the starter should spin and engage the engine (crank over).
If both those tests pass the battery and start button are okay.
Check the ignition switch and harness connector under the dash.

 

Having same problem, but the green wire that triggers the starter from start switch has 12v on all time All wires seem ok but dash and instruments wont come on either. Switch on I here fuel pump run ???

 

Thanks Schmidty. I will check the starter and switch as you suggest. I don't want to throw parts at it, but I'm just at a loss on this one.

 

Let us know what you find out; it helps others.

Doc

 

If you don't hear the solenoid click when you press the start button and you have a fully charged battery, it's either the start relay, the solenoid or a bad wire. Put a fresh battery in the key fob, make a habit of changing it once a year.

 

Neutral does come on.

 

I will let you know what I find out.

 

It could be this relay it's a starter relay some bike a couple of them you can switch them out to try it to see if it works . You can buy one on ebay or at you local auto parts ask them were their H-d 4 way flasher units at the Auto parts and find one with the same pin configuration and amp rating and your good . do- not ask for a Harley Davidson starter relay they will tell you they don't carry them. But a Heavy Duty 4 way flasher relay will work in it's place. Trust me I replaced one on mine to go riding rather then waiting a week for to come in the mail and our closest H-d dealer is over a hour away .

 

I'm thinking the OP is going to find some pinched wires under the right handlebar switch housing clamps.

 

I figured it out. Thank you for all the suggestions and help that you gave. I knew it was something simple. As it turned out when I changed the battery in my key fob I put the battery in backwards. I got to thinking about it and every time I tried to start the bike the alarm system would flash. So I looked at the FOB battery again and realized it was in backwards. Go ahead and beat me up I already feel stupid on this one. Once again thanks for all your ideas.

 

Shitz happens but you had the Ballzs to come back and tell us which is cool. So many times People come here and get help and Leave never to be heard from again. Click on the forum tab at the top of the page theres a lot of good reading there and a lot of info.

 

Silverback, I do have a gremlin bell. I'm guessing it worked just fine. I was the problem. Had a case of dumbass going on.

 

Not as dumb as my posting AFTER you had posted the solution. LOL. Glad you figured it out. A mistake is a mistake. It's not dumbass until you repeat it. Again. And again.

I have a 2014 street glide, I jumped it off using a car while it was running don’t know if that matters, but my friend crossed up the cables and heard a pop noice. Now I get nothing when pressing the start button. All fuses are ok lights and dash are lighting up. Fuel pump activates as well. Tried looking for a starter relay but I think Harley stop making relays in 2014. Need help before I have to take it to Harley!

 

but my friend crossed up the cables and heard a pop noice.

Funny how it is always someone else who connects battery cables wrong...

If all the fuses are good and the problem still exists, it means your "friend" cooked something in the electrical system...

 

What a BS answer .

LOL. I see you graduated top of your class at https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034/ref=asc_df_0671027034/

That was an 11 year old post you (incorrectly) replied to there Ace.
Did you really sign up to this forum just to do that? :loco
I bet your parents are proud.

 

Wow, first post and you are blasting a member with not so much as a howdy do as they used to say. Takes balls, and I'm not talking about the brave kind. Well, you can only go up from here. Maybe.

 

This thread made me lol. Shmidty calling out a mechanic for throwing parts at a bike then ole boy joining just to say he thought the advice was bullshit lol.

really tho it is amazing at the “mechanics” that throw parts hoping it works. I made a buddy mad the other day. He is a freaking tech and called me wanting to borrow a spare stator I had and I asked. “Did you test the old one to make sure it’s bad” he said it’s gotta be it. Well I’m not giving you my spare part if you don’t even know yours is bad. Could of test it faster than calling me to ask. Turned out wasn’t the stator lol I don’t considered myself a mechanic but I have the sense to test stuff before I replace it lol. Sorry for the vent rant.

 

really tho it is amazing at the “mechanics” that throw parts hoping it works. Sorry for the vent rant.

Understanding basic direct current principals and simple test procedures are just as much a part of being a qualified mechanic as being able to diagnose a flat tire, but some just push it away and say "I hate electrical".

Don`t troubleshoot, just change the relay, or starter, or starter switch, or a few batteries....

 

The old man taught me along time ago. There are parts changers and there are mechanics. Anyone can be a good parts changers. But knowing why your changing that part makes you a mechanic. I love learning. Grew up working on bikes and cars and with the internet and forums like this I feel like I can fix about anything. Confidence is king I guess lol. But it’s satisfying having a problem troubleshooting and then fixing said problem. As soon as I get a new bike I get a service manual and read it cover to cover. Heck I have read service manuals to bikes I will never own lol. I learn everyday. Hopefully when I’m a little older I will be like some of the guys on here like shmidty and some of you other guys who know all the in”s and out”s to all these different models. It’s my goal anyways lol

 

I have my service manual sitting within arms reach of my desk.
