Can you pull the accessory relay out and probe its socket pins for power with the key on? Use the battery negative post for ground. You should see power on 2 of them, 1 light green wire and 1 light green/black wire. Make sure you have the correct relay, it’s the second one from the left(rider persp...

Thanks Techdude2000. I will check that out this weekend. As I am a pharmacist, I am fortunate enough to be able to still be working so I will not be able to check it out till then but will report what I find out this weekend. Cool, my employer is closed so I have too much time on my hands. Stay safe.

@Techdude2000, I just checked the BATTERY fuse and it's good. I think this path is leading me to a trip to the stealership, where I know it's probably going to cost me a thousand dollars... Thank you very much for your suggestions though. I appreciate it, as well as the suggestions from everyone el...

I don’t post much but always appreciate everyone’s help when I do. Recently my flashers and dash indicator lights are not flashing when I use the key fob to lock/unlock my bike. All these lights do work when I turn on my signals so I know the lights are functional and not a fuse for the light eithe...

Yet you recommend not following the proper troubleshooting procedure. By the way, i was working on aerospace electronics since the vacuum tube days, but I'm not trying to start a pissing contest. You can take all the offense you like, its no sweat on my brow, but if you are so knowledgeable and exp...

Moron in the hayfield refers to just checking components without knowing why or where in the line of succession they are. This electrical system is quite complex and branches into many sub sections inter dependent on each other. Without the proper troubleshooting technique you are basically hoping ...

Look, stop hunting for the invisible man. Get the shop manual and follow the troubleshooting diagnostic tree. This is way too complicated for the moron in the hayfield method. They might even have it on goldwing docs! You have at least 3 computers and two relay banks, fuse links, routing switches, ...

Checked and swapped out the 20-amp fuse, no joy. Swapped out the 20-amp relay with two different relays, still no joy. The LCD screen initially goes bright for just a second, then does very dim grey with some horizontal lines through it. And remember, I DID replace the NAV module/computer to see it...

Check the fuse labeled “Battery” as well.

Ok, that relay and the associated fuse supply power to the audio unit, the turn signals, the Nav unit, etc... I believe this circuit is definitely suspect.

Sounds like you blew up the Accessory relay. Find it in the bank under the seat and swap it with another one like it in the bank. Have you checked the fuse labeled “CB/Radio/Flasher”, it powers this relay and this relay powers lots of stuff, including the Nav unit. Does the radio turn on and have an...

Worst case, it could shear the spine drive of the alternator or drop a piece of its clip into the oil pump drive chain and stop all pressurized lube to the running engine. Both are rare, but have happened in the past.

Thanks for all your help. I finally got my Goldwing fixed. What I found was the issue was the Fuel Sending unit and fuel pump was bad. Replace both and starts right up.D3210414-33B9-4FC2-8C1F-F7445F69654A.jpegE5FAD85F-958C-422E-9A3F-A4ACFBADC804.jpeg68526AD3-6271-47B2-A4B8-B48B9A7F8549.jpeg68526AD3...

These small tube cracks are not part of any recall and Honda won’t do anything about them. Best thing to do is swap the frame with a 2005 or newer frame that was strengthened in these areas.

The recall for the frame issues never included these small tube fractures, only the lower crossmember welds and joints. Honda won’t do anything about them, hitch or no hitch. Good luck with your rebuild. Yep, the weld failed, and you decide to change frames(?) Damn.. why not simply re-weld the brok...

Ok, since you are seeing the FI light coming on for a second or two, then the bank angle sensor is OK and the ECM is getting power for its power on test. You need to take a voltmeter and check the fuel pump connector for power while you see the FI light turned on. If you find battery power at it for...

I do not see an FI on my screen but I do not hear the fuel pump. The FI light is at the bottom of the speedometer gauge. If you don’t see it come on, then there’s an issue with the FI system and that will keep the pump from running. Have you checked for any blown fuses? Have you pulled the seat off...

I have an GL1800 2003 with 31188miles on it and it has not been rode in 5 years. I removed the fuel tank and washed it out with new gas and reinstalled. Put in new air filter, changed oil and filter and changes out coolant from green to blue. The issue I have now is that the bike will not start. It...

I have found on my 09 wing that every so often the reverse light on the dash will flicker,when i activate from neutral to reverse, it also has a slight grind in the engine gearbox, im thinking maybe dirty contact switch and the reverse is not fully disengaging. Thoughts???. Try lubing the reverse a...

Hi 2003cobra. This is a new to me 1800. There is a recall for that problem. 2001-2004 are included in this recall. But the previous owner had a hitch on the bike and mother Honda don’t want to pass it on warranty. So he sold it to me very cheap.. The recall for the frame issues never included these...

Finally I took out the starter and the brushes were slightly used but with a lot of rust, I think because of the humidity of my zone (and 6 months without almost using her). I went to a dealer Honda and I've bought all the parts new. During weekend I'll complete the job. Thank you all, you were ver...

Thank you! I think it could be the brushes, I'll know soon. Just a quick note. When you go to reinstall the starter, DON’T pull it into the engine using the bolts! Use only your hands to turn it until the reverse idler gear and the starter clutch gears engage properly. Using the bolts can cause you...

I was travelling this days. There is no loose connection on the starter B, so I´ll have to repair the starter. Ok, there’s still a remote chance that the cable could be loose or corroded where it attaches to the starter, I’m crossing my fingers... Hopefully, if it is the starter it will only need n...

I don't have the headset to plug in the head set connection. I did test one of the front speakers with a test speaker and nothing. I also tried the aux in just in case the radio antenna did not work. Contact Larry at WingConnect.com. He can get it straightened out. The amplifier is built into the h...

I've checked the voltage on the fuses with my voltmeter. Results: Battery 13.6 v RVS A 12.78v RVS B 13.28v RVS Start 13.02v Ok, that indicates that both relays are working, which eliminates lots of other stuff as a possibility. There is a slight chance it could be a loose connection on the B starte...
