Water getting into Power Commander connection
On a recent long distance trip (1700 mi.) on my 07 Dyna SG,I ran through some hard rain and had a pretty serious problem with the Power Commander III.
The bike would not idle down. Whatever rpm I was running at , the engine would stay there, even though the throttle was closed. Kinda like cruise control until you get off of the Interstate, then its out of control, dangerous.
The only thing to do was to shut the engine down and re-start. Then it would idle back down.
When I pulled the pin plug connection between the PCIII and the bike there was water inside the
connection. One of the pins was corroded looking,like it had been shorting out.
I dried out the connection as much as possible and got on the road. The bike ran fine until I hit rain again. Then more of the same.
When I got home I called Fuel Moto and talked to Keith. He suggested that I use dielectric grease on the connection and move it further up under the seat,which I have done. I also completely wrapped the connection with electrical tape.
Anyone else having this problem ???
