Hi new here,but hopefully my intro post explains some stuff,got an '01 Boxer 107 ,don't know who or what was done b4 it came to my corner,but it had a Drag Specialty battery in it,the Dog must have took a straw and sucked every last volt out of it,I mean 0 volts,anyway put a fresh(well tried) battery and as soon as I hooked up the leads from the little black box
" from a papa bear post
START MODULE – 2002 Models and Prior
Module P/N: BD4120-1
Application: Any Big Dog model (2002 and prior)
Description
The start module is an electronic version of the start relay with overload protection and fault
indication. The design will improve the starting system while aiding the process of
troubleshooting. The module controls the current through the starter solenoid as the starter button
is depressed. The installation of the module (P/N: BD4120-1) eliminates the EHC, start relay,
and wire harness as part of the solenoid circuit, removing any potential voltage drops in the
harness critical to the inductive load of the starter solenoid. The EHC provides a signal to
activate the module (see installation instructions) while an indicator (red LED) aids with
troubleshooting a starting issue. (See troubleshooting instructions.)"

it tries to start itself,key off,switches off,is this starter solenoid grounded out?? Did someone try to pull the starter with disengaging the jackshaft? if I can make it start and run,I'll have to test ride it :up: should I pull the primary and pull the starter??

I would suspect the starter solenoid, if its closed then power will get to the starter motor no matter if a key is in or ignition is on. I would pull the cover off the starter solenoid and see if its stuck in (towards primary) good luck.

If it still tries to start after you pull the little green(?) wire off the solenoid then welded contacts in the solenoid has got my vote! :D

right now I have the lead off at the solenoid,everything else connected,touch the spade at the solenoid and it will activate the starter,my boss decided he wants it sold quick,so off it goes to local harley shop
