    Ignition switch issue revisited?

    Oops, signed in with my old member name.

    04 cranks - no start - code 19 but switch is ok

    Thanks - if the bike keeps giving symptom-free starts I'll eventually trust it again. I need to check the function of the clutch switch - if it tests ok, then the cutoff relay is still suspect.

    04 cranks - no start - code 19 but switch is ok

    I put in the new battery - and it stared right up - just once On the next try it would not start - and posted code 19 again. Following Zorlac's idea, I sprayed Brake-Clean up through the drain hole in the bottom of the key switch, cycling the switch a few times. The bike started again and...

    04 cranks - no start - code 19 but switch is ok

    I think it could be just be a failing battery. At rest it only makes 11.3v - which drops more while cranking. With a battery charger (or a fresh battery with 12.8v) connected, it starts right up with no codes. It's the codes that are a head-scratcher. And the fact that even at low voltage...

    04 cranks - no start - code 19 but switch is ok

    Called the service tech at the local dealer - no idea where an FJR's cutoff relay is - but probably not far from the starter relay - their parts fiche refers to various relays under the seat but just calls them "relay" with no description of what they control. Googled "starter cut-off relay"...

    04 cranks - no start - code 19 but switch is ok

    Zorlac - I am glad you have checked in on this - it was your posts about the switch that I had noticed. I did try working the main switch several times - but it doesn't seem to make any difference. This weep hole - where is it & how to access? I'm ok with taking off the triple clamp for...

    04 cranks - no start - code 19 but switch is ok

    I agree the evidence says the cutoff relay is doing its job. Its function (page 8-15) is to allow the engine to crank if the trans is in neutral, OR it can be in gear if the clutch lever is pulled in and the side stand is up. I don't believe it controls fuel at all. There's an air temperature...

    04 cranks - no start - code 19 but switch is ok

    Thanks for the replies A 'stop injection' command would explain why there's no fuel smell. Probably not flooded then. I need to find the fabled "starting cutout relay" discussed in the manual. Maybe the tipover switch is goofed up. The manual shows the cutout relay in the center area under...

    04 cranks - no start - code 19 but switch is ok

    Thanks, I'll try that tonight. But why would it post a 19 code?? The manual is pretty clear that if it posts a code, the yellow light blinks and it will be unable to start. (just like it's doing) The other clue I just read here is that the key switch may not be sending enough current to...

    04 cranks - no start - code 19 but switch is ok

    when I turned the key yesterday: yellow engine light came on - didn't go out after 1.4 sec light started blinking while cranking cranked fine but no fire posts a code 19 on the display Manual says 19 is the sidestand switch. But the switch checks out fine - even took it apart to make sure...
