[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 590461, member: 3372"] That's a neat use for a BandAid, I'll have to remember it. Glad you made it home in one piece. That ignition switch on your '05 is the same exact one that's been giving us so much grief on the '06 and later bikes. The electrical current running through the switch contacts is enough to overheat them when they get dirty enough. In my case it melted the wiper carrier inside the switch, in your case it heated the solder enough to detach the wire. Your best bet is to score a new recall switch and then [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s=&showtopic=111493&view=findpost&p=507640"]add a relay in the circuit[/URL]. Good luck, looks like a weekend project to me. Brodie [/QUOTE]
