Key Switch!

The EHC is Gold....looks pretty original.

Digging in....Don't see a relay on the diagram...... had a tech swap to a dual coil ....shouldn't be for that.

 

[flcmcya]

Located the comprehensive diagram.......Horn relay

 

[chubs]

For sure.......Add this to the post above......Put in a new relay and nothing.

K9 LE....pretty sure its stock....... pulling the starter for a test as well.

You might also remove the end plate from the starter solenoid and check the little bare wires that are attached to the terminal the green wire hooks to. One of those little wires on my bike broke and kept it from cranking. Soldered it back together and haven't had any trouble again. (Just a thought.)

Thanks Chubs...pulling that tonight!

 

[flcmcya]

Making good progress. Had the starter checked out.....All good.
New EHC is here....... would be a good time to add something between the battery and EHC...What goes there?

An inline fuse.

An inline fuse.

X2 yes

Everything hooked up.....and......click!

When you hit the start button do the Compression releases Click? At the same time do you get 8 to 12 vdc at the green wire going to the starter solenoid ?

 

[flcmcya]

CR’s click…no voltage at the green wire.

 

[Rottweiler]

Is this with the new EHC???

 

[flcmcya]

Correct....... Gonna do some tracing today........check out the crank sensor and the right PCB.

Of course my clutch cable came off when I loosened the clutch cover..... Put it in gear to bump it.
I'll get her running eventually...probably be all new parts when I hit the finish line....but glad I have a backup EHC regardless!

You probably have already done it, but trace that green wire back from the solenoid connection all the way back to the EHC. See if it might be broken or a bad connecter somewhere. With a new EHC and the starter testing good, it's the only thing I can think of, but then again, I'm not the sharpest pencil in the drawer.

The EHC supplies the voltage to the starter solenoid when the start switch is selected. Considering you did not get a reading on the green wire from both EHC's the issue must be the between the EHC and the starter solenoid.
Pull the green wire off the solenoid and then remove the Power Harness pin connector (A) from the EHC. Take an ohm reading from Pin A-1 to the other end at the solenoid connector. If you get no reading the wire is Open/Broken or the pin itself is bad. If you do get a reading the wire is good and you should reconnect the (A) connector and test again for voltage at the solenoid end when you hit the start button. If at this point you have voltage your issue is with the starter. Go back to Chubs suggestion in Post #43 for next move.
look at the wire diagram for a little more clarity on the A connector. A-1 is one of the large ones.

Thanks....tracing the green wire back will be my first move!
The connecters look pretty grubby....may just need a good cleaning.

First move should be an ohm reading before you spend time trying to visually find a break in the wire. Plenty of time to find the break after you verify that's your issue.
Be sure to disconnect the battery while you are messing with the EHC, it's easy to forget but always advised. Also after you check and clean the connector be sure to replace the dielectric grease for long term benefit against poor connections.

I guess it would be smarter to check for continuity between the ends of that circuit before fighting all the loops and tangles tracing that wire.

I packed the new EHC during installation...thought maybe I put too much in there!

Not likely the cause. Take the ohm reading and make sure the pins are not backed out.

 

[flcmcya]

Mike..... thought you were supposed to remind me ...... Make sure the green wire is plugged in at least 3 times!
Plugged it in and she fired right up...so it was the EHC. Bad news ....couldn't get out of first gear.....must of dropped a ramp ball when I loosened the clutch cover.
I will be ripping that girl tomorrow! Thanks for all the tips and encouragement
.... should be in the wind for a while now!
