Normally on the tubers when that happens you have a blown fuse. I would check all of them and go from there.

Mine did that from a loose battery connection. Didn't know what was causing it until it finally clicked one time instead of firing off. Tightening down the cable fix both problems.

I know what the problem is....

I believe either pwnzor or brineusaf said this before and one of them or both was right. Those bolts are too long. You need to grind just a bit off of them. Once you do and you crank em down, this problem will stop happening. Those bolts bottom out in a sense.

This is such a common thing, that it's fricking irritating. It happened to me the other week for the last time.

No problems since.

I should have done it back when I originally read that thread.

I will try to find it again.

It's somewhere hidden here on the XBoard

I think the same thing happened to me this morning. Other than grinding the bolts, adding a couple of metal washers should have the same effect, no?

Well I checked the battery bolts and they were a little loose So I tighened them down..Also I rode to work and prayed that there was nothing wrong with the bike even though there was a light and when I got there no fan?? I check the fuse and when I touch it the fan came on and the light went away so fixed it If the clock is still an issue I will add some washers and see it that fixes it. thanks for the help
