I thought someone would have a suggestion by now. I’ve got nothing. I’m sure glad you knew your pin, though. When you get it figured out, be sure to post your solution. Good luck!

Security system won't recognize the key fob.I have to disarm with pin number every time you start the bike.

Are you sure the battery in the Fob is making a contact, sometimes the contact needs to be cleaned and the contact may need more tension

Glad you know the PIN, without it, it can get expensive.
For others, that don't know their PIN, the following video may be useful-

I have never had to do this but I believe the key fob can be tested at the local parts store and if it test good can the bike or fob be reprogrammed?

Have you checked the replacement batteries voltage with a meter? I’ve seen new batteries not have full voltage.
Glenn…. I always wondered what would happen if for some reason both of my PODS wouldn’t work because it’s one pain in the neck to put the code in every time you want to start the Trike if you find out what the problem is, please don’t hesitate to let everybody know you’ll help a lot of people out thank you ..

Have you scanned the ECM on your trike?

No check engine light,and no stored codes,I'm thinking bad ground or bad connection somewhere by the way it worked one day and not the next.Just haven't found it yet.I have a buddy that has the software to disable the security system but that is a last option that I don't really want to do.

Fob Battery
I would try a different battery in one of the fobs and also make sure the battery is in correctly. Bend the metal tabs to make sure they are contacting the battery good

On the 2014 I had I found the ground just behind the motor was painted over and had not been cleaned off before they installed the ground wire, I cleaned and reinstalled the wire which made a difference in the cranking of the engine.
My 17 won't show me the pin by doing this. I tried it with the key in the ignition position and the accessory position and nothing. With the kill switch in the off position I turn the ignition, turn the kill switch to run. Then cycle the kill switch twice, then cycle the left turn signal twice then press the right once. Nope nada, just the mileage shows up. ???

Your security system must recognize the FOB in order to view or change the PIN.

We did not cover that in this video. It is in your manual...you don't need the big manual that is now costing over $100...it is in the little manual that comes with the bike.
Harley has changed the procedure a few times over the years, and it can be different for different model bikes, so look in your manual, you will find it.
Here is a photo of how to change the pin, from the little manual, that came with my 2019 Tri Glide. It can be different for different years and models.

Two things:
1. Sometimes you need to push the buttons faster to get it to work...leaving too long of a time between pushing the next button will not work.

That has been my experience also, and is why we emphasized in the video that you should always know your PIN....because if the FOB is lost or broken, and one does not know the PIN...that is a bad day.

Back when i had a 2017 Tri-Glide ...I trailed it in to the dealer for the trans oil migration into the primary .....And i forgot to leave the POD with them, And i had put my own PIN number in and also forgetting to tell them what the number was...They didn't have a problem starting it and test riding it..??..When i ask the service manger about that, All he said was we have ways...???:xzqxz:
