I can hear it trying, but no actual ignition... I installed a PC5 last night, but it started up just fine... This afternoon it won't start... I put it on the jumper, but it's not the battery... Any help?:smashfreak::smashfreak::smashfreak:

Maybe a bit of work, but disconnect the PC5...see if it'll start...
See, ya shoulda bought the other ECM..!

I'm putting on the trickle charger for now, and will try again this evening... It said it was at 10%... I guess the PC5 is draining the battery...

Check the status lights on the PC-V. If both are dimly lit, it's a power issue with the PC-V. If that's the case, it needs a jumper wire from pin 9 on the ecm, black plug and run it to the red wire on the PC-V. Don't ask me why, but I've seen a few with this problem.
One way to test that theory quickly is to have a laptop there, plug in the PC-V to the laptop so it gets power. Bike will most likely start right up.

Is something that develops? When I got it all hooked up, I started the bike up with the laptop connected to verify everything looked good.

And with the laptop not connected, the bike doesn't start, correct?
