My 2017 Tri Glide factory battery tender cable not working. Seems to be an open some where. Is there a fuse for it? I checked the fuse block, those are all good. Thank You

My battery tender pigtail has an inline fuse about 4 to 5 inches from the battery.
With the tender disconnected, a volt meter will read 12 volts on the pigtail from the battery if that fuse is good. No voltage and the fuse is probably bad. Easy way to check without taking anything apart if it's good.

I would double check the fuses sometimes they will look good but are bad .. Not like the old glass fuses where you can see when there bunt out….Which leads to another question…It is rare that a fuse would burn out on a battery maintainer pig tail…Have you plugged something into it to over load it???
If my memory serves me correct max load is 8 Amps…

I have 6 battery tenders, over the winter my trike was plugged in went to start it in December the battery dead, buy a new battery 3 weeks later battery dead, ended having two bad battery tenders, some of them could be 25 years old or older, And I have had bad fuses in the battery tender cable ?
What does it mean when battery tender is flashing red?
➢ RED FLASHING - When the red light is flashing, the AC power is applied to the charger and the microprocessor circuitry is functioning properly. There is no battery connected or there is a problem with the connections between the charger and the battery.

If your battery is dead, a tender will NOT bring it back to life
The micro processor will not turn the tender on, you will see the flashing red light continue

To quote Paul Harvey…..; And the rest of the story;
So I’ll ask again when you turn the key does your Trike start??…

Be careful here.My '18 FLRT battery tender pigtail Does Not connect directly to the battery.Connector 281B the red lead connects to R/Be wire to the P&A Relay. Then on to connector 312A&B. The black lead connects to various other points in the main harness. The whole shebang terminates at the rear lighting of all places. If the battery tender is suspect shitcan it and buy a new one. Cheaper than a main/ branch harness.
This should help to understand the how and why of the Battery Tender

Jack - thanks - I am aware of what that says in the book...been there, done that. Actually, the book list several - you seem to have chosen just one.
Again, from my experience, he has a bad tender. We will all find out if he chooses to plug that tender into another unit and still get the red flashing light or, if he simply uses a different tender and wait for it to turn green.
He still hasn't answered - do the bike start. Let's see how this shakes out.
