Normally no it isn’t’.. But if you monkeyed with the bars/grips it can become problematic?

No, however HD has upgraded this switch

Have you pressure washed your trike, or ridden in hard rain recently?

The switches are supposed to be weatherproof, tho I had a failure on my 15 model, replaced under warranty with a newer version switch

Plug and play, disconnect the battery or pull the 50 amp main fuse first

Brian, before you go change out switches and if you think it’s water that caused the problem spray the switch with some lubricant contact cleaner..Not WD 40..

Bob, that does not work the switches are microprocessors, it does work somewhat on the clutch switch nipple tho

AS far as I know HD is on their 3rd generation of these switch paks, my 15 model had the A and B models both installed before I traded it

Jack I always- Use the Principle of Parsimony…IE ; Go to the simplest solution first….And if it doesn’t work you can always use the contact cleaner for something else down the road..

I very rarely bring mine in for service, but when I do if I have to, I will go to Honesdale, Pennsylvania Baer Harley Davison…

If I’m mistaken, correct me but I think the nearest Harley dealer near you (Lake Hoppalong) will be morris county on route 10… I only buy Oil and oll filters from them, and occasionally a part… They actually have another dealership in Lebanon, New Jersey on route 22.. different names, Same owners..

 

[Bryan]

no its bergen county harley davidson

no its bergen county harley davidson

:Shrug:......I would have thought Morris County Harley on Rt 10 would closer ?

 

[Bryan]

just a update..i ordered the left hand switch..

incrediale price of 227.00

comes in next week.. keep you posted

 

[Bryan]

switch

well i replaced the switch and that did the trick..

I called the motor company and was told just because they change a part number dosen't mean the part had a problem..

they said they do it all the time because they change manufactures

Yea….And they changed manufacturer for 3 reasons..1} There was a problem with the first manufacturer parts- 2} The new manufacturer undercut the first manufacturers price on the parts or 3} A combination of 1 and 2….. …
