    Pulled them all - cleaned the contacts...reinstalled them. How do I check if they're good or not?

    any auto parts joint. take along old one and precisely match up. should say 20 amp embossed on top of same. they match up to most chrysler and ford a/c relays.

    It's the relay and its circuit (I used the 'amateur' troubleshooting John outlined above).

    Noone in town has the relay....tried all three stores this evening.

    Going to be mid week next before I can get one here.

    I got a couple ordered - I'll check back in next week (probably not until Thursday or so).

    So - for google searches in the future, part numbers for auto parts stores that don't have a data base cross-referencing motorcycles:

    Buell XB ignition and starter relay part number: MC2205 (different branding out there, e.g. BWD MC2205, SMP MC2205)

    Harley Davidson part number for Buell XB ignition and starter relays: 31522-00B or 31522-00C

    Hopefully putting it this way will help this thread to actually show up on searches for those terms, both from within the site and from google, simpliciter.

    Just switch relays from different slots and see if it works.
