can anyone help with the location of my key switch relay on my 2003 xb12s. a picture would be great. I read in another post that this would fix my no lights, no prime, no start problem. any help would be great
On my 2009 xb it is under the seat in the fuse box
^^^^^ correct sir
aalvis: fuse box under seat just downstream from battery. see pic of 2003 lightning. press in both lid cover fingers and gently remove cover. if you fail to press in the fingers and forcefully remove the cover the finger tabs will break. then flip cover over for schematic. there will be a series of small blade fuses and 3 large relays. the cover schematic gives you ID and locale of the relays. if replacing i would do all 3 as they are very inexpensive and your bike is 12 years old. money well spent. the amp rating for each is embossed on top of same. take them to any decent auto parts store and match up to new replacements. common match-ups are ford and chrysler a/c relays. 10624_20110901233120_L.jpg
thanks, does the no prime, no cel light, no headlights, no start problem sound like a relay to you?

bike ran fine. washed it, ran fine after. about an hour ride pulled into drive way shut off bike. left it set approximately an hour. came out to put it away. turned key on,gauges do sweep, neutral light and oil light come on. no check engine light. no head lights high or low. no fuel pump prime. nothing happens when starter button is pushed. has brand new fully charged battery that worked the two times it was rode before this. all connections clean and tight
you have either a connection or switch problem so start with those things. if you have the following check them:
sidestand safety switch: check it for being operational and wires clean and intact and proper connection
clutch lever safety switch: """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" "
you are also describing a problem with the right handlebar switchgear that contains both the starter button and red on/off switch. check it for corrosion...lube the internals with kano kroil or something similar....follow the wiring harness down to its connection point and check closely. you have a minor connection/corrosion problem in one of those areas. with dilligence and patience you'll find it and resolve the issue.
