    I remember reading that the drivetrain is isolated from the frame and that poor grounding of the straps from the drivetrain to the frame cause hard to diagnose electrical issues.

    All that's left is to check that little black box by the brake petal.

    I have checked ALL fuses and mismatched new and old switches, even simply disconnecting them.

    I also gave the battery a try by disconnecting the negative for a few minutes, nothing changed.

    One upside to all of this is I found my anti-freeze leak. I hope I can get this done. All I have to do is unplug and replug that little box? Sounds too easy to solve this issue.

    Sounds like you may want to call someone to locate the bad ground.

    Did you check the grounds? Sounds like you didn't.

    Yeah Dom did you check the grounds - try adding another ground wire! File metal so its shiney - needs a good contact to conduct.

    Dont just check them, pull, file, replace.

    LCM appears to be shot.

    No gages or tail lights.

    Everything else is back to working.
