    Default Intermittent electrical

    Good morning. Have an electrical issue on my 2001 Rood King. Riding home and everything went dead at stop sign. Everything went dead. No lights...nothing. turned switch off then on and started right up. Got to my driveway and everything dead again. I coasted to a stop. Nothing at all...everything dead. Parked for the night. Next day checked battery dead. Trickle charged...bike started but everything went dead again after 5 to 10 seconds. After few seconds light come back on. Hit starter..starts..runs 5 seconds..then everything goes dead. When it goes dead, the flasher behind the battery clicks ...any ideas?

    Charge battery too 12.7 v . Then let it sit idle for an hour. Take another volt reading , should be 12.7 . Attach the volt meter to the battery and start bike . If it goes below 12volts , 86 the battery.

    Electrical 101, KISS..

    Pull the battery out, check state of charge, if it is 12.5 have it load tested

    It sounds like you have a relay tripping, have you added any accessories lately?

    You need to do a parasitic drain test also with a fully charged battery, look here

    Testing a system for current drain

    To check if something is draining your battery while your bike is turned off you need to test for current, not volts. To do so, do the following:

    Switch your Digital Multimeter to DC AMPs. Amps is usually indicated by an "A" on the Multimeter Switch. AC is usually shown as a "~" symbol and DC shown as a "-" symbol. You usually have to move the Multimeter positive lead to a separate socket on the Multimeter. Sometimes there are 2 sockets, a high range and a low range. Always test on the highest setting first. For example: high setting on your multimeter may be 10 Amp. Test on the 10 Amp setting first, then if the current drawn is less than your Multimeter Low setting, move to that setting and keep testing. In my example my Multimeter low setting is 0.3 Amps. Also indicated as 300mA (mA x 1000 = A).

    WARNING! Once the multimeter is on Amps do not connect it directly across the battery and do not hit the starter button while testing for current Amps. This will cause the internal fuse in the multimeter to blow! A multimeter set on current is a very low resistance, almost a short circuit and will draw as much current as your battery will supply till something melts. Always plug the Multimeter leads back to volts when you have finished testing to avoid blowing the fuse next time you use your multimeter.

    To test for battery drain: Switch everything off on the bike. Disconnect just one battery lead. For example disconnect the Positive Battery Lead. Set your Multimeter to Amps as described above. Connect the Positive Multimeter Lead to the Battery Positive terminal. Make sure the Positive Lead you removed from the battery does not touch anything grounded, like the Bike frame etc…. Connect the Negative Lead from the Multimeter to the Positive Lead you removed from the Battery. You should now see current drain measured in Amps. Move to the lower Amp setting on your multimeter if the current is lower than the setting on the Multimeter Low setting. Start to unplug the wires or fuses around your bike and see if the current reading goes to zero. This will point you in the direction of the current thief. You can convert to Power measured in Watts by multiplying it by the Battery Voltage. Power = Volts x Amps 4.2Watts or (12Volts x 0.35Amps).

    - - - Updated - - -

    If you have been riding alot in the rain or after washing the bike you may have water intrusion in the run switch, take the switch half apart and clean with contact cleaner then apply some dilectric grease.

    You may do the same for the ignition switch on the console

    On my 02 Road King I was leaving the doctors office, walked out turned the ignition switch on, nothing. Turned it off then back on and it started, rode it home and parked it, came out a few hours later and nothing no lights zip. New battery and its been fine for 3 years now.

    Default Battery is new

    I'm sorry I forgot that battery is new. Today after work, I checked and it cranked but would not run. If you turn key on, lights all come on but after about 10 to 15 seconds everything goes blank. When that happens the circuit breaker and the flasher on top of battery click at same time. Let it set with key on and after 5 to 10 seconds lights come on.. it will crank but not run.

    Still sounds like a bad cell in the battery that can happen even with new batteries!..

    Rare but it can happen .. just for the heck of it load test the battery..

    Default Battery

    So to understand, a bad battery would make the circuit breaker and flasher open and close at same time?

    It is possible. You do have a short somewhere in the ignition circuit, the clicking of the relay tells you that

    Take your seat off and start your bike, does it stay running?

    If you do a parasitic drain test and find a draw, you could pull fuses 1 at a time and redo your test to find out what circuit is causing your bad Ju Ju

    Before you start any tests have your battery load tested

    You may also try a scan of your on board computer to see if there are any stored codes.

    Follow this,

    2000-2003

    1. Remove right side saddlebag and side cover if so equipped. Remove protective plug from data link connector. Other models will be under the seat.

    2. To activate the diagnostic feature,follow these steps.

    a. Create diagnostic test wire or use a female spade clip which will bridge the two terminals perfectly.

    b. Install diagnostic test wire/clip across Terminals 1 and 2 on the data link connector, they are marked.

    c. Turn Ignition/Light Key Switch to IGNITION and wait approximately 10 seconds (4 seconds lamp ON, 6 seconds lamp OFF) for check engine lamp to start flashing.

    3. All trouble codes are sent out as a series of flashes. To retrieve the first digit of the trouble code simply observe the number of times the lamp flashes.

    a. The lamp will then flash one or more times to indicate the first digit of the trouble code.

    b. The length of time the lamp is illuminated and the length of time in which it is off are each about 0.5 second in duration.

    4. The second digit follows:

    a. Following the transmission of the first digit, there is a 1.2 second pause in which the lamp is off.

    b. The lamp will then flash one or more times to indicate the second digit of the trouble code. Count the number of times the lamp flashes to retrieve the second digit.

    5. If more than one trouble code is sent:

    a. Following transmission of the second digit of the first code, there is a 3 second pause in which the lamp is off.

    b. Once all codes have been sent, the data string is repeated. When you have recorded the same trouble code twice, it is an indication that the transmission has been restarted and that all trouble codes have been retrieved.

    IMPORTANT NOTE ..If diagnostic test wire is installed across Pins 1 and 2 on connector in lieu of a Scanalyzer, the ECM is placed in a diagnostic test mode and the engine will start. The test wire must be removed from the data connector and the ignition switch turned OFF or the check engine lamp will continue to flash codes. A historic trouble code resides in the memory of the ECM until the code is cleared by use of the Scanalyzer or a total of 50 trips has elapsed. A “trip” consists of a start and run cycle, the run cycle lasting at least 30 seconds. After the 50 trip retention period, the trouble code is automatically erased from memory (that is, assuming no subsequent faults of the same type are detected in that period). The numbers after the 'historic' or 'current' is the speedo code number, but without the electrical diagnostics manual you're not going to know what they mean.

    The code numbers are the numbers that appear in red.

    I am still new to this forum but if the battery tests ok you may want to check the ignition switch . I am sure Jack may be able to tell you what wires to check.

    If you have no codes and the battery is good I would suspect the ignition switch.

    You're description is correct for a failed charging system. Pull the battery all the way down because nothing is going back into it. A good battery that's been discharged fairly rapidly will recover quite a bit on its own. If the voltage drops too low during cranking you will get no spark, ie no start. Some diagnosis with a meter would be a big help.

    I did charge battery to 13.00. Let it set unhooked from cables and it dropped to 12.7 in 3 hrs.

    What Sidecar Bill said could be the problem. When your battery drops below 10 volts the ignition system will not fire

    Follow this link to check your battery and charging system

    Ok I understand that but what would make the circuit breaker as I mentioned open and close just sitting with key on and not running? Thanks!

    A dead short in the run circuit( ignition switch, kill switch, coil wiring)

    Hook the battery back up, with the seat off and a voltmeter hooked up. Turn the ignition and run switch on , watch your meter. If your voltage drops below 10 volts you have done a poor mans load test. Your battery is starting to fail.

    If this test passes , start your bike and check the voltage. Does it rise above 12.7 ( i would like to see 13.5 -14.5 @ 2K rpm. This will rule out the charging system

    Next you will be looking at checking the voltage when the bike stops running. What is it?

    Default Not starting

    I would do that sir if I could get it to crank long enough to start and stay running..it will run about 5 seconds and then die. Power goes out then back on then I can start it again

    The circuit breaker clicking is the problem, BUT you need to check the wiring in that circuit to find out why it is overloading and tripping the breaker

    Do you have a service manual?
