Changing Ignition Switch on Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883

Model: Harley Davidson Sportster Iron 883
Part: Key

Video tutorial

Is your Harley not starting anymore and do you need to change the ignition switch? Perfect! Disconnect the battery, remove the ignition switch by unscrewing the front ring and push the central piece towards the bike to slide it out from behind. Disconnect the connectors, remembering exactly how they are positioned (you might want to take photos).

There are simply three screws to unscrew. Take the new ignition switch and connect the connectors, replace the three screws, and insert the switch back in place.

Screw the front ring back on and reconnect the battery. Try to start it, ensuring everything has been done correctly; otherwise, a fuse may have been damaged.
