2014 triglide has a problem and need some help to track it down. I take the battery out every winter and keep it on a tinder charger. Put the battery in and no lights, no ignition, no panel display. I have never had this problem before. The battery is new from last year. I do get a light say enter pin but cant get into the display as it doesnt come on like it should. So Im stumped.

Are you absolutely [Not Guessing] sure your battery isn't dead....:Shrug:...
 
I will have to check. It was on a battery tender and was showing fully charged.Some one says to pull the master fuse and wait about 5 minutes. I will get my multi meter out and see if I can trace it down. Strange, I have done this with all of my bikes over the years and this is a first for me.

As Bob said, don't guess on the battery. Load test it to be sure. You can with a volt meter on the battery, read the static charge, if it is not at least 12.5 volts continue to charge it.

When you are sure it is fully charged @ 12.7 volts , again with your volt meter hooked up @ the battery turn on the ignition, observe the volts. If your headlight is on that should give u enuff of a draw to do a poor mans load test. If your voltage drops below 10 volts and continues to drop you have a bad battery

Good luck and let us know how it turns out

Occams Razor.... The Principle of Parsimony;;Go to the simplest thing first...

Test the battery with a volt meter.......Anything under 12.80 is suspect...
 
Had to run my truck into the dealer but on the way back I bought new batteries for the fobs. So I will see if that’s the problem.
