How to manually override a Harley-Davidson Security Alarm

[@Lighteye67]

You saved my bacon at a rest stop 2 days ago when I came out of the bathroom and realized that somewhere in the last 150 miles of highway travel, my fob had come out of my pocket and I was (momentarily) stranded. I had forgotten how to do this, as the dealer never explained it and I had only read about it in the manual. A 4G phone connection to this video got me rolling homeward. Thanks a ton!

[@steventhompson3517]

Finally found the right video for my bike. Thank you ,works like a charm. After you put your PIN number in quickly hit the start button.

[@Robert_Mark_Norris]

Quick addition: 2008 Heritage Softail required one extra step at the end: after pin and run switch is on…put bike in gear then back into neutral before starting. Works when nothing else worked! Took 10 videos to finally find this one and I had to rely on a bloke from down under! Thanks mate!😂

[@fastvettes]

Excellent !! This (and the other similar videos) give some great instructions on changing and over-riding your PIN. As noted, in the event of a dead FOB battery, or in my case, a lost FOB, you are simply dead in the water w/o knowing this info....happened to me on my '08 FXDWG, but luckily was only 4 miles from my house and could retrieve the other FOB....had I known the override sequence then, woulda' saved me some hiking !

[@Hog-g2z]

Hi 👋, Gone Touring, from the other side of the world 🌍, I have just purchased a 03 DEUCE, and I couldn’t find a way to disarm the alarm system, the guy who delivered it to me, had a problem as it was in the back of the van, the alarm kept going off, so when we remove bike from van the battery is flat, In next day or so I’ll reset the pin number and turn the alarm off, thank you for your info, very very much appreciated, From France ,

[@ron13quesada16]

Invaluable information, thank you so much. Just got my Harley and didn't know this was even possible. The previous owner didn't tell me about this. Now, I'm going to change the pin to something I only know, thanks again.

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Thanks for the kind words Ron and we're glad to be able to help out.

[@alanwhiteside410]

Ron13 Quesada I bet there is a lot of bikes out there that still have the factory PIN number on them and they are all the same Pin. Crazy

[@mbbeachguy]

Thanks very much for this info. I had my fob fall out of my pocket and it got crushed. I’m going to use this and take it to the dealer on Friday. Thanks for all the help.

[@rdb23gs]

The best I have seen, because ir is complete! Thank you very much!

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Thanks for the kind words. I really like the Street Slammer bars, great for cornering through the hills.

[@devenhooe9869]

Finally found the one that worked for my 08 V-rod, guess different actions for different years or models, thank you!

[@lanceroark6386]

This video seriously just saved me a grand. Starting the bike let me know that my fob's battery was flat; aka "dead" here in Uh-murka.

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Glad to hear you got some value from our video Lance. Hope you find our other videos helpful too.

[@Comeoffitman]

That is some good information! Reminds me of a kid in my 3rd grand class who didn't know you don't eat the little round balls in the grass. He thought that they were candy. We should help people out and give them free advice so that their breath doesn't smell like rabbit poop! Good video.

[@thetonekingofficial]

Hello. . I have a 2003 Road King. This did not work for me. Does it vary from year to year? Thank you.

[@DIZEMANPHOTO]

Great question.. I have a 2002 Road King Screamin' Eagle and I just buried my fob in the house, far away from the bike, but with the ignition dial unlocked, it allowed me to start the bike. When I performed the sequence shown in the video... It did not show me the PIN number in the SPEEDO. Wondering if this security system is not on my 2002 FLHRSEI. Important to me, because I live just outside of Death Valley and a bike refusing to start in many of the locations I ride could result in one or more fatalities. Like I tell my Hummer Mechanic, because of where I go in the middle of the Mohave and Sonora Deserts... a failure can mean multiple fatalities, so make sure it runs right.

[@bigblue3568]

@@DIZEMANPHOTO just bought a 2008 Rocker and did not know the alarm PIN to retrieve and change PIN to new code so I had to do everything he just showed. The trick is you have to do it fast when you press the left turn x times followed by the right one time. Same thing for starting .... process. Must be right away.. Word of caution replace key fob battery AND keep a extra battery on bike somewhere and do not lock your front wheel with the key.

[@DIZEMANPHOTO]

@@bigblue3568 I only have one key fob, so I am going to have to try and get another one. Where I ride, not being able to start the bike is all but assured a fatality or two. Thanks Shawn!

[@evikens1571]

Thanks a Lot.My Manual seems to be wrong at this point.With your Help I was able to solve the Problem

[@starsatnite5803]

Tried this numerous times.....could not get it to work. I discovered that the "RUN" switch must be in the RUN position......this wasn't mentioned in the video or the manual. Handy piece of info. Great video. Thanks

[@gonetouringaustralia]

+Dennis Ross Hi Dennis, you may have a different model to our bikes as our two bikes won't work in the "Run" position as you suggested.Thanks for the info. We'll endeavour to find out which models need to be in the "Run" position.

[@PapaElegua]

FANTASTIC! I’m buying a new (to me) Heritage Special and don’t think the seller has this info- but now I do, for when it arrives next week!

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Thanks for the comment Tricia, The only time you need PIN number is when the FOB battery goes flat.

[@GrizzlyNation1]

gonetouringaustralia or if you turn off your bike in areas where walkie talkies jams the system if similar bandwidth is used ;-)

[@jonathanchitty2913]

Excellent summary - and totally different to my Rocker C manual: the instructions in which just would not work. So about time HD updated the manual??

[@jjthomas6321]

This is one of the most helpful and most straight forward video’s for the bike, good work mate

[@MadsWorld34]

all i have to say about this is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. i have been fighting with my key fob for over a month now sometimes it will work and sometimes i wouldn't. now i can ride it until i get paid and get a new key fob. now the next question do you know how to program a new key fob so i dont have to give them $55 of my hard earned money

[@stevemollica4948]

Great video helped me alot brother thank you saved me 400 $$$

[@GiftBarn]

Would you happen to have a video on how to program a new fob for this same model bike?

[@adechapman.1132]

Good video. Well presented. I'm going to have to study the manual as this does not work on a 2017 fatbob

[@bradleykirwan]

Wonderful video. The presenter does act and speak as if he was forced to make this video at gunpoint however.

[@MartinPoncelet]

Hi, thanks for the quick and short explainations... But my 2005 Road King didn't showed is PIN following these On/Off(x2)+On & (3x)LeftTurnSignal & (1x)RightTurnSignal :-(... Any ideas why? Otherwise that might be good for other HOG #HR2U

[@epavlov]

same on my 2001

[@phantombadger]

BAHAHAHAHAAHA the second camera shot is fantastic.

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Hi Kel, you will have to get your dealership to program the new FOB to suit your bike. It is quick and simple process. And thanks for the kind words

[@bikersoncall]

It would help if you stated which years this covers.

[@legalsolutions07]

Good video and it was helpful. Nice to see another touring Harley with street slammer bars. I have the chrome version on my Road King.

[@chut213]

you still need the assigned fob to make these changes... and these changes are also detailed in the owners manual for the bike. my fob battery died on me and that code allowed me to get the bike started anyway. I keep a spare battery on the bike for now on

[@PierreC61]

Thanks, that help me. Pierre From Belgium

[@weswahlig5908]

Thanks so much my vrod is just a touch different but I got it done!

[@hurstshiftin9873]

Clear straight forward easy to follow thanks.

[@narudelics]

++If there's a mullet, you know is from Australia...great vid mate!++

[@alectraproject]

Just pull the fuse that you have installed outside the battery cover discreatly and walk away. The alarm should still have all of the functions as with its battery backup?

[@robg3284]

i tried this with my 06 flstci heritage and would not work. any ideas? cheers rob, (great videos by the way)

[@peterrei280]

Very useful: good video

[@gabor222]

Thanks for the information. Does it work differently with a pushbutton-FOB?

[@danhawkins7060]

Great video. I tried the procedure to find my code and it did not work. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan

[@exupakias]

Nice video.Thanks

[@ari110]

Does it work on one time or does it disable alarm until you do PIN code again?

[@marcelolima2437]

Amigo, este vídeo me tirou de um grande problema aqui no Rio de Janeiro (Brasil), Obrigado por postar este vídeo sem o qual eu ia ficar enguiçado. MUITO BOM.

[@jt1679]

I’ve got a 2007 nightster 1200xl. I’ve been struggling for years with this security system issue. More money, mechanics and lost riding time than I care to mention. It has a key fob which I regularly change the battery in and an ignition key. The bike never starts! It gets “fixed”, works for a few rides, and then doesn’t start again. Currently broken. Can the system be permanently disengaged or removed? If not, what I can do?

[@papothetech]

Tried those steps a few times for my 2012 softail and could not retrieve PIN number. Is there something wrong with my alarm system? Had HD change pin when new bcm was installed 6 years ago and I forgot it.

[@elizapat]

Trying to test starting with the pin, but my sporty also has a Siren security. As soon as I turn on the ignition she wails on! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@mrk7201]

Great can you keep it in this mode?

[@Starbuck.Laniakea]

I hope this works for resetting the alarm... but maybe I should get a replacement battery for my fob first. The bike has been sitting with a dead battery after my spouse was killed. Im finally getting around to it.

[@nickkorte]

Sorry to hear about your loss. Keep the bike and ride it in his memory!

[@maje000]

hahahaha tku brother,estuve leendo el manual y nunca le esntendi,tu explicacion fue super facil

[@bob6168able]

Hello mate ... Thanks for the tip. I have a different issue if you would be able to help me with .. When I press the start button on my fatboy, i have no response (as the case when the bike gear is not neutral) .. Is there certain reason for that? is there a way to restart the whole system of the bike. ? Also do you guys have any video for drilling stock mufflers to get deep louder sound? Thanks

[@sinister13cruz63]

Thanks for the info great video

[@meeeeedo0765]

I lost the fob and the key, Harley Subster 2012, and I brought an iron key only from the company in the United States of America, but I could not turn on the bike. Do you have a way to bypass the security system and turn it on?

[@darkshadowii4765]

Is the second procedure you showed the correct procedure for trailering as well?

[@lukealvarez5240]

Will this procedure work on a 2005 Dyna Super Glide?

[@simonevannoli4500]

Hi, pls I need to start the sportster 883xlh 2007 purchased on auction. With key bat no fob or pin. How can I make start it? Thanks lot.

[@leoinferos]

Hi. Have you ever heard if there is a limit of times you can use the override code? I lost my fob and will be able to pick a new one at the dealer only on monday and I'd like to keep riding on the weekend. The bike is a 2016 FLHXS. The closest dealer said I can use it about only 30 or 40 times and then the bike will not start anymore but I didn't find that information over the internet.

[@gonetouringaustralia]

No Worries, glad we can help out

[@RenManinJapan]

thanks for that..never had my fob die....but I better check my code again to make sure I know it....just in case! good info....great video!

[@jgunslingerj]

Thanks for the tip, it works for me. p.s.Incredible energy man. haha

[@chopperrick]

He says that you need to have the fob with you. How does this video work if you have a dead fob or lost your fob? Does it work on bikes without a fob or pin number?

[@jenpizarro3535]

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for.

[@georgesanchez9971]

Thanks you are a life saver!

[@NANKEL1]

How do you install a new fob if you have damage one? Also very handy tip to know

[@djakpineapple1631]

This doesn't work for my bike. It's an imported US model. Is there a reset procedure a owner can do or is it best to take it to a dealer? Thanks

[@vvtwin97]

OK I have a 2005 Dyna UK model with the ignition on the side by the battery and this is what works on mine. Hope it helps someone out 👍 so double click your keyfob to disarm the bike. then, iginition on off, on off on. left turn switch twice. now you should see both indicator lights on the dash flashing together like hazards. at this point you press the key fob twice. the personal pin will now be shown on the dash. you can use the inidicator buttons to change and then just turn ign off to save. i suggest "11111" to test.

[@robinstone9207]

Had this issue and got my bike to start with the pin but now you have to do it everytime. Is there a way to disarm the security all together so I don;t have to get new fobs?

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Robin Stone Hi Robyn, sadly its either replace the FOB batteries which is a simple job like in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eprMgadviLOhaKc or purchase a new FOB if the old one is faulty. We wouldn't recommend removing the security alarm as it could effect your insurance and resale value. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@gregjarrett2890]

Thank you exalt demonstration

[@motochiptuning]

This dissarmes permamently or untik next start?

[@aa1mnu1u2]

Good video!

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Not sure that all US bikes have the factory fitted H-D security alarm's fitted, its probably best to swing by your local dealer and get them to check it out.

[@alfareros11]

perfecto. funciona. gracias

[@gonetouringaustralia]

No Worries, Glad the video was helpful

[@vinm3630]

OK, without FOB, alarm is going off. How do you turn the alarm off without the FOB. I know my pin but entered the wrong last number. Won't let me try pin again.

[@edwardsierra4709]

I don't doubt you, but did this on my 2006 Electra Ultra and it didn't work. Any ideas?

[@Jazz5729]

Hi, nice videos, I like them. I was wondering if you can show how I can toggle between chirp-chirpless modes in my HD. regards Pascal

[@rickhill56]

So what years does this system apply?

[@PuppetMaster48]

Do I follow the same instructions for 2014 Harley 48?

[@vauxmoto9096]

Nice video. Subbed!

[@rdy1717]

Good Helpful tips.. But I have a 2007 Sportster,, Alarm Blinks and like I dnt ride that much it kills the Battery. There a way to stop the red light from Blinking.

[@evil_musclemuscled3814]

Will this work for the 2016 breakout

[@oldpoop47]

does this shut it down forever? or is it a one time deal?

[@MrJkfamilyguy59]

Different model years have slightly different procedures . Check your manual.

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Estamos felizes nosso vídeo foi útil. Obrigado pelo feedback agradável.

[@anthonydemag2169]

how do you disarm 2008 883 so it will start the guy lost the remote he said i was going to buy it but the security was on so we could not start it or can we get a remote for it from the dealer with the vin number

[@Roadking97100]

Hi I am not sure that my RK 2002 have a pincode, I use only my FOB, How can I make a new pin code on it?? thanks

[@kevinfortyseven2244]

I have this problem with my harley softail. I ride the motorcycle to wherever and when I sometimes park it and then go away from it for 5 minutes and come back the turn signals start blinking(without headlight on and horn) its silent. But the signals stay blinking forever until I disconnect the battery. Even after inputing my 5 digit pin to disarm the motorcyle it still wont turn on. This only happens sometimes tho. Could it be that the FOB key battery is bad or cuircuitry on the bike is bad? PS:sorry for bad grammar

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Thanks for viewing our video, we will get some expert advise on your problem and get back to you.

[@samg9286]

Thanks, it worked.

[@BestEmulator]

Which Harley model is it

[@erinlomakin]

Hey dude how am I to check my current pin when the battery in my fob is dead

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Hi Mary, The dealership should be able to program the new FOB to match your current security system, then you can check the pin yourself we show how to do it in the first part of the video.

[@charleshall5576]

With the push button FOBs you need to pair it with the security system, for that procedure you need to be able to disarm the security system, if you cannot do so the TSSM will have to be replaced then the ECM and the new TSSM will have to learn a new password which is about a half hour process. I'm not sure what year model bike you were demonstrating on but it is different from my 2005 Softail Deluxe. My factory service manual and owners manual does show the proper procedures, additionally from factory there is no PIN on the 2005 models.

[@sacredlifeguard6783]

Awesome...thanks so much:)!

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Hi Pablo, you will need to purchase a H-D Factory security system to suit your bike. The part number can be found on page 794 of the 2014 Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories book or just ask your local harley dealer to order it in for you.

[@kushbold2085]

I have lost my key with FOB and followed your instruction but nothing appeared only my Odometer, what do you do in this situation? Please help me.

[@tokunboh83]

Kush Bold take it to the Harley store and just order new fobs and they will marry them for you..

[@tonycorvettes]

hello good videos,thanks also can you help me on this? i have a good fob came with my bike,but want a spare ,i found a fob i had with another heritage i sold,can you tell me how to program it?

[@gonetouringaustralia]

Hi Anthony, you will need to take you FOB and bike to a Harley dealer to have the FOB assigned to your bike. You can buy spare FOBs if you loose one too.

[@bjornlundback2713]

I have a HD FXDLI Low Rider 2005 fuel injected with HD:s alarm system. When I bought it on auction I only got the starting key no FOB and PIN code. When I tried to start it I realized that something was missing. A mechanic installed a new PIN code by connecting a Windows laptop to the alarm unit. The update finished successfully. When I tried to start it with the new PIN code I followed the manual to the letter but I never reached the step where I was supposed to enter the PIN code. The manual states " The left turn signal switch is used for code number entry and the right turn signal is used as the "enter" key. 1 Know your 5 digit personal code 2 Turn IGN key to ACC 3 Hold both turn switches in until confirmation Security lamp blinks at fast rate 4 Enter first digit of code (a) by pressing left turn switch a times 5 Press right turn switch 1 time Serves as enter key for first digit Proceed with the 4 last digits in the PIN code the same way . . . 6 Security lamp stops blinking System is disarmed. You may use the vehicle or program another key fob " I reached step 3 where the security lamp blinks at fast rate. When I tried to enter the PIN code with the left turn switch it didn't accept it and continued blinking at fast rate.

[@4x4Tinny]

I done this to a mates Dyna without an issue. But when I tried it on my 2011 Fatboy the option doesn't come up? Any ideas? Irang the shop and they dont have the original pin?
