[QUOTE="BkrK12, post: 573158, member: 2701"] I reported this problem last Fall and the resolution (with un4gvn's help) about a month ago. In my case, one of the pins in that connector was broken, and could be fixed. This connector sits in an area where cooling air, and whatever other elements are present, is blown in on it. In addition, it isn't fastened down so it can blow and vibrate around placing fatiguing stress on the connections. You can actually put your fingers on the connector from outside by sliding your hand into the opening just under the front of the frame, by the lower steering bearing. You will be able to feel it move. If you suspect that is a problem, raise the tank and remove the heat shield, you can then get at the connector to wiggle it around. I was able to duplicate the failure by doing that and point the dealer's tech right at the problem. After mine was repaired, we sealed it up and bound it to the wiring harness to stop it from vibrating around. [/QUOTE]
