Where is the ground on a Harley Davidson?
Ive got both the Harley Service manual and the Harley Electronic Diagnostic Manual. One of them mentions a tank ground but does spell out specifically where it is (or at least I wasn’t able to find it). I tested both the fuel pump ground at the tank and the fuel gauge ground under the tank.
Can a faulty ground cause a Harley Davidson to sputter?
Im on a 2002 FLSTCI. Ive been having quite a few issues with performance loss as well as sputtering and also my fuel gauge appeared to have gone bad. After jumpering a wire from the the speedometer assembly acorn nut directly to the battery ground all of the issues disappeared.
How do you check for a grounded circuit on a Harley Davidson?
To quick check to see if you have a grounded circuit, attach the alligator lead of a test light to the positive post of the battery, any thing you touch (METAL) with the probe end of the test light will light up the test light if you have a ground:s Hoople has given you the best advice here.
Is there ground wire in late model bikes?
Late model bikes are not wired like that. Maybe in 2002 things were different. Just look at the schematics and you will probably see a ground wire within the harness that is used for speedo, fuel gauge etc. You will probably find a fractured wire or bad pin when going through a connector.
