Bike is dead. Could use some new brains helping me troubleshoot it.
Here's the situation:
1. 1999 C10 with just 16K miles on it. Bike is in like new condition including all of the wiring, junction box, battery, etc. Never given me an issue before.
2. Rode the bike for 20 miles or so 5 days ago and parked it in it's usual spot in the garage.
3. Today installed Murph's Knee Savers on the bike. Just removed the original foot pegs and installed the Knee Saver foot pegs.
4. Needed to adjust the height of the rear brake pedal, which involved removing the rear brake slave cylinder from the bike to change the position of the small saddle bracket that attaches the slave cylinder to the brake pedal at the pedal pivot point. (Screwed the bracket up the threaded shaft farther to make it shorter, and reassembled.)
5. Repositioned the rear brake switch so that it wouldn't be on all the time because of the brake pedal height change. Did NOT do any other electrical work on the bike at all.
6. Turned the ignition to the ON position.
Symptoms:
1. With ignition key in ON position:
NO headlight, NO dash lights, NO horn, starter does not crank when pressing the start button. The turn signals work, but NOTHING else.
What I've checked:
Battery reads 12 Volts at the terminals. I pulled all fuses in the junction box. Fuses all look good. Swapped out the main 30A fuse with the spare anyway
just for the heck of it. Bike is still dead.
HELP! What should I be checking that I'm not thinking of?
