Gary Welcome to Trike Talk

Have you done any thing to the trike recently?

Are your brake lights working OK both front and rear brakes turn on and off brake lights?

If not you may have a brake light switch problem

Follow the below link to check your trike for stored error codes

If you messed with the hand controls check them.

#1, very easy to break the front brake switch if 1 is not careful

Here is a picture of how to protect the switch when working on and around the switch

I was wondering if you would remember that diagnostic. That is a great tool.

We need to make that a sticky.

I remember because you posted it

Always like to read your input ( Very Valuable stuff) and I agree it should be a sticky along with a lot more info contained in these forums

IMO we cannot have enough info:clapping:

I think Jack is on the right track. I just got a cruise control working again by cleaning sockets and grounds and replacing the tail light bulbs. They were lighting up, but I thought they were ticking fast. The ticking slowed with everything fresh, and the cruise works now.

Zook, I was referring to this diagnostic video on troubleshooting your HD cruise control system.

Switch Pack Issue?

I recently sent my Tri Glide to the shop because it would not start in gear. Started fine in neutral. They said the neutral saftey switch was bad, but had to replace the left switch pack which included the cruise control. (Was covered under the warranty) I don't know if your switch pack could be the problem. Just a thought.

The Tri Glides seem to have a lot of problems with those left switch packs...Hopefully, they have addressed the issue.
