No power, in reverse

[trike lady]

The pics of the reverse actuator.

The yellow arrow points to the nut you'd want to turn to release the system, take all reverse fuses out before trying to power up and start the bike. You want to turn the bottom one, not the top one.

Red circle shows close up of nut.

I can't thank you enough trike lady for you patients and showing me where to look and what to do. I will be getting a new 70 amp fuse to replace the one that has no power and fingers crossed that it will power up. I will let you know how it goes.the pictures didn't come up on my phone or kindle and have been able to bring them up from other sites. thank goodness for the main computer.

Thanks again for everything

Trike lady i wanted to let you know that it is up and running. A friend suggested last night to try a ground jumper to see if that works. It did. As soon as i touched it to a ground i heard a click on opposite side of trike. I now have all lights on, everything works, goes into reverse and backs up and disengages as it should. That was first thing i tried, didn't try the actuatorm bolt. I'm happy and so is my wife. I can see a moonshine lunch run possobly this weekend.

Thank you for all your suggestions and if i hear of someone with same issues i know where to have them start.

Just curious, which ground wire was bad? That ground on my bike may be getting dirty also.

Thanks, PC

You're welcome and glad to hear the problem was found.

There is a ground point under the gas tank. That is the one that sometimes creates problems.

I has been my pleasure to assist you.

Have a great day.

Thanks for everything. The ground under the tank may have to wait a bit. But eventually will get to it.

As for the exact one my guess is the battery ground. Put ground in another location then everything is back to normal.

Am I reading you right 2102? You connected a separate jumper wire from your battery and connected it to somewhere else on the bikes frame?

[M2102]

Yep. That's what I did.

I learned something new today from this and will remember it.

Thank you.

it would be interesting to know how big of a ground wire you used.

I would seriously repair the original ground wire before riding to far.

if you used to thin of a wire and everything is going threw that wire for ground you will melt and burn that wire creating more problems than you have now. cause everything that wire is running along side of new ground wire will melt right with it.

I'm hoping you used something about the same size as the ground cable. that's on the battery now.

the ground coming off the battery should go down and bolt to the back of the engine..

if you remove and clean the ground cable on the back of the engine, clean the surface areas then put it back on that should be your issue right there.
