Starter Relay Location Question?

Thanks for the post. I did run across the site you posted when searching for a current manual. The problem is, the part reference number appears to be an earlier version T3851160. The site say it covers to year 2014 but I doubt it. The part number on the service manual I need, at least according to the dealer, is T3851570. This is based on the VIN number for my bike. All I really need is the complete electrical system because I doubt if much has change with the general service except for ABS which I don't have. Thanks again.

I could go make a color copy of the wiring diagram and legend and send it to you if you would like.

I thought that it had been decided by members here the Touring did not have a flasher relay but it was part of the ecu or dash due to the self canceling feature. Someone was having trouble and pulled every relay without affecting flashers. Are you sure that's not the stater relay on right side.

I am becoming more inclined to agree with you, Ygransom, that the relay on the right side is the starter relay and that the turn signals are controlled in some manner other than a relay. What looks like a relay under tank could be a diode pack even though it's mounting, size and shape resembles the other relays. I understand the function of what a diode does, but how it relates to the circuit is not clear. In any event, that's where I am leaving it.

You're too kind, but I won't put you through the trouble. I do appreciate the offer though. I think I have poured over this topic more than I should have. I have a tendency to want to know as much as possible about what I ride. For me, it just helps if you have a problem. I will probably wire in the EB relay for the headlights in the spring and I already have a spare throttle grip. If I change my mind on the diagram and legend I'll let you know. Thanks again!

I think it is one of the 4 on the right. That is the only thing that has been a major problem on my bike. I thought it was the starter, it wasn't, switch checked good, it was one of the relays that I had to replace to get it starting correctly. I now carry two now and have not had that problem since

Good to know...Now that you carry two, you should never have another problem. Here is where the manual got me questioning about relays and locations. Roadster and touring reference from the 2007 PDF manual. The picture says it all. This must be a misprint in the manual for the rocket touring.

So has anyone figured this out for sure, is this the starter relay on the right side?

the little diagram on the side of that relay tells me it is a 5 terminal starter relay.
next question? lol

No takers on this question? I'm surprised there isn't one ace mechanic out there who knows his late model Rocket inside and out.

The 2007 PDF manual I have found here just isn't cutting it when it come to answering this question. I can see from my most recent tank raising there have been some changes to my late model R3T. I have been in contact with a dealer and base on my VIN number, he can get me me a current manual for $106.87. It's back ordered for 2-3 weeks. I guess if I want a definitive answer I'll have to order a manual. Thereafter, I will be able to answer all of your question about the 2013 electrical system and wiring.
