Glad you found the problem. Well think about this , if it was at the bike shop they would have charged far more and may have caused more problems. Ride Safe.
You got that right!

Great idea. I also ride an 08 Electraglide. Do you have any details you could share on this? I would love to do it to mine also. I have always thought the air temp gauge was stupid. I know when it's hot or cold out.
I committed a face-palmer Saturday.

KevinJ,
As long as you have the Faring off, you might want to also buy a H-D rubber booted momentary contact switch (just like the one that operates the Odometer) and hang an extra garage door opener clicker inside the Faring. All you need to do is to open up the garage door clicker, find the place where their momentary contact switch is soldered to on the board, and solder in your new one. Drill a hole in the dash and now when you get near your garage door just push the water proof button. Mine has been there for years and I LOVE IT!!! I chose to mount mine inconspicuously on the right side of the Faring but you can mount it anywhere since it actually looks like Factory if you use the OEM switch. Look just to the right of the handle bar. NOTE: pic #2 is NOT the correct direction and I forgot to rotate it 180º so it's upside down.![]()

I've been retired from the M/C business for about 10 years now, but I seem to recall an H-D accessory Concealed Garage Door Opener Transmitter that connected in to the stock wire harness and allowed you to toggle the high-beam switch to open your garage door.
