Hello everyone,
I have recently installed a truck luggage rack on my 2008 Goldwing. Part of the process was removing the connector plug that goes to the control unit for the trunk opener. It was a pretty straight-forward process.
After finishing the job, I didn't start the bike...or attempt to start it until this morning. I put my lunch in the trunk, closed the trunk very gently with the added weight that is now part of the top, and climbed aboard to ride to work. I turned on the key, fired it up and noticed right away that the "open door" indicator was showing that my trunk wasn't open. So I turned off the power, went back and shut the trunk.
I got back on and turned the key and now I have almost no indication that there is power. After a second or two, I see the neutral light illuminate, and I can hear a relay clicking without touching anything else. The key is just in the "on" position and I can hear the relay click. I took the seat off and pulled out the assembly with the ignition relay, and that is the one that is clicking.
I did a simple voltage test with a multimeter and the battery has 12 volts. I really didn't/don't think it's the battery anyway since it was very strong when I fired it up this morning.
Anyone have an idea to check something simple or where I can start? I have disconnected the trunk box and tried it with and without the box plugged in. Nothing. Anyway, I'm hoping someone might have a light bulb come on or whatever.
Thanks in advance!
