It's been a while since I last posted, but here I am with more issues. To be honest the issues started over a year ago, but I haven't had the money (had already put in a brand new transmission and starter and needed a break from dumping money into it) or time to deal with it. But, I really miss riding the Bigdog, so hopefully someone here can provide some insight.
When I bought the bike a few years ago the EHC had already been replaced with a complete rewire. So, my hope was that I would be good moving forward. Not so much. Early last year a starter issue popped up. I replaced the relays just to be safe and verified all fuses are good. There are no issues with lights, speedo, tach, compression release, etc. I've tested the line out of the controller to the starter and there is no power. I can jump around the module and the bike will start, so I know the starter is good. My assumption is that I need another new controller, but wanted to get thoughts here first.
So, my questions are:
Thanks in advance!

So, my questions are:
- Has anyone had this problem before with the new controller?
- How do I tell what model of controller I have?
- How can I test the ignition module? I have a single red light on the ignition module which turns on when I hit the run button.
- Can I just replace the controller without rewiring the bike?
- What options do I have and are there any other troubleshooting steps I should take?
Thanks in advance!
