computer cutting out

My computer display is cutting out! Totally blank! After I had the pins re-soldered it has reset itself while riding a couple of times, but now I seem to have moved beyond that. It did come back on briefly after hitting a bump a couple of times but won't stay on which would seem to indicate a loose connection somewhere.

1. does the display have a separate power supply allowing everything to work without it showing?

2. should the bike run/start if the CPM quits/dies?

3. where would I start trying to figure this out?

Thanks in advance!

Check for a good ground. Obviously if a big jar on the system made it come on, you got a loose connection somewhere.

Get a can of this stuff, use on the Plugs behind the Inst Panel.

( Also, any other electrical plug you can see or get your hands on )

Also, get to the Main Ground Stud, located Under the Left Upper Fairing,

( about 3 inches, fwd, and 4 inches left of battery. and clean it )

Its not easy to get to.

I would think it almost surely would be where the wiring harness connects to the back of the panel. There isn't a lot of room there and often the wiring is under a strain. Check this area for good solder connections and that there is enough play in the harness to assure a good, stress free connection.

All connectors that are within reach were cleaned and dielectric grease applied. Ground was solid when I redid my battery cables, so i will check into the harness for the panel and see what shows. If I can't find anything and the problem persists, i'll holler back.

thanks for the feedback!

The solder job may not have been that great. You may have to take it back out and recheck the solder joints.
