Another blinking neutral light thread

All,

I've got the infamous blinking neutral light issue on my '08 TE450. In neutral it's solid green for a couple seconds, then blinks, then back to solid green, then blinks, etc.... In gear it blinks perpetually. Manual, and other threads here, state that would indicate an EFI issue. But, she fires up and runs like a champ. This first appeared after a mud pit, erm, incident. Since then I've changed the oil, disconnected the battery, and checked all fuses. Nearest dealer is far, far away. What am I missing?

Thanks!

HuskyDude,

I'm liking that theory. We certainly had issues getting her started post-mud (involved a lot of kicking and pushing). So it's definitely conceivable that I had a failure. Anyone near SW VA with I-Beat planning on hosting a tech day anytime soon?

Interesting aside, if you google I-beat Software a whole lot of rap software programs arise...

I have found the connector for the senser full of green ugly stuff. You probably looked at yours but if you didn't.......
My light blinked when I tried to connect a resister before the PU plugs were available and for what it's worth didn't need to hook it up to Ibeat after reconnecting the sensor.

Mine was the plug that replaces the O2 sensor in the power up kit. I was wet and once dried the fault went away. It wasn't a latching fault, so the neutral light went back to normal. The dealer cleared the fault out of the history file even though it wasn't causing a problem.

Now I have one and the fuel pump won't run.

Xcuvator and motorhead, I'll check those connectors. I pulled all obvious connectors, but figuring out which is what from the owner's manual and wiring schematic is cryptic. I'm good with mechanical things, not so much electrical things, so I see wires going into a box and am prone to saying "bah, what's that box do?" and run for the husband. Particularly when the manual reads like it was translated from Italian using a webtranslator . Love that bike, but too many new-fangled electronic gizmos. Half of why I went with the Husky was for the kick-starter afterall. Where's my carburetor...

Yeah, yeah, you crack yourself up

Woohoo!

I'm pretty confident HuskyDude was right . I disconnected the battery for 24 hours and poof the flashing is gone. So, for archival purposes, the 20 min disconnect per the recommendations found in other threads may not be enough--give it overnight before you lose hope.

To celebrate I took River for a wee spin:


And Dirtdame, thanks for the comic relief--hope it was clear that I was joking and not snarky, but re-reading now I think my comment could've been taken either way...so sorry if I read grouchy.

Thanks all!!

I'll have to try that.

Didn't work. It was the main power relay wouldn't close. Put the fan relay in place and it runs. New relay on the way.
