It died while riding

Sorry was looking for a 2008 carb print, found a 2008 EFI. Open up this link and look around.

The horn power is though a relay that gets power from the ehc on A21 hot A10 ground.

I would start by disconnecting battery. Take plugs off of ehc. Your key switch is pins B21 ground & B36 input from key switch.
Check those pins with a ohm meter while turning the key. Key on should be a short key off open. If the key switch checks out might be a bad EHC. Let us know what you fine out.
Good Luck.

If the key switch is bad, meaning closed without key, and his EHC is lit up, then the bike should start.

Just trying to rule out on thing at a time. Yes I think it is the EHC. That is where the priest, a bible and a chicken comes in.
Maybe the lights stay on even after the battery is disconnected?

I just hooked battery back up an yes bike is on with out the key but left controls don't work either

 

[Bdawg12]

Oh an the horn still blows I just didn't hook it back to the battery

Normally the hand controls won't work without the key, do you have an EFI or carb bike?

 

[Rottweiler]

check key switch

That's what I said?

I would take your left control apart and check board. May be shorting out. Take 10 min to get apart and check it out

So I looked for threads about this with no luck so here's my question. I was riding my 2008 k9 an it dies so I turned the key off when I switched it back on the horn continously blows it won't start or anything. Minutes before this I switched headlight to bright haven't used the left side hand controls in awhile....also from time to time it won't start with the right hand controls either but I have a slam button from WSW....any help is appreciated

I'm going to agree with Alen and say check the headlight wires. They tend to burn up inside the bucket and could cause a short.

See post #11, he already did that

He said "Well I checked everything u guys said the only wires that look bad was the head light ones but the lights on my ehc r on when key is off any more suggestions thanks guys"

He didn't say he fixed them......

I would pull the tank and check the wires on the backbone and the left hand control board. Its easy to do and then you would know. I can''t remember if my EHC stayed lit up or not when mine grounded out. Good luck and let us know what you find out.....keep us updated

Don't look like it needed fixed, head light wires are separated, in his hand, EHC still lit up. Fix what?

MY 08 K9 was doing the same thing, wouldn't start horn blowing. While I was looking for everything suggested to you and about to get that Chicken, my ECH started smoking. Replaced with Doc's ESC.

That's a nasty habit they get when they get older
