Help... not sure where to go from here......
I have a 2011 FJR that has a problem I can't seem to fix. I can drive the bike and everything works fine. I go back to it, maybe an hour later and try to start it. The first time it starts, but both turn indicators are on solid, the high beam indicator is on (but the switch is in the off position) and the headlight is not lit. The engine runs fine. When I turn it off and then try and restart it it will not start at all. Nothing, nada.
I have checked the battery and that is fine, the voltage is good. So I figured it was a grounding problem. I took all the tupperware off and found all those stinking, hiding spiders. (Thanks Blake for helping me!) They all looked good. I used dielectric grease on all 8 of them and made sure the connections were all good. No burnt terminals... all clean and shiny. I also replugged most of the other connectors just to make sure they had a good connection.
Not sure where to go next. Ignition switch? Starter switch? Or... the computer?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks, Captain Mike
