Hello All,
I was on a group ride today. I have a 2012 Dyna Wide Glide. 40 miles into my ride the red indicator light on the speedometer turns on. I'm like, WTF over!?!?! So I am frantically looking, listening, touching (ouch! that's F'ing hot!), for anything that could be causing this, am I the only person that will imagine hearing problems that are not there? Anyways, we get to our destination, the light is still lit, but my scoot has not self-destructed or melted on the side of the road. I am checking my fuel pak connections to the ecm, the fuel pak codes, and anything! I find nothing. The bike sounds fine and is running fine. I text my son-in-law who has a friend who used to be a parts manager for the local Harley dealer, he says it's the security system, but I don't have a security system, LOL.
After leaving the destination to start heading home, we stop for gas. Another rider notices that my low beam is out, but my high beam works, his wife makes a comment, maybe that's why the light is lit, I'm like, haha, that would be a neat trick! Well, it turns out, that is the case! I had turned off my bike with the switch in the high beam position, when turning on the ignition, after the initial "all lights on" on the speedometer goes out, the red light is not coming back on, switch the light switch to low beam, and the light comes on!
Replaced the light and no more red light! Followed up with a mechanic from HD, this is a function of the BCM "Body Control Module".
Sorry about being long-winded, but I thought that I should definitely share this info!
