Help...Harley SC
 
On the way home tonight, I had a serious problem. First, the power steering went out. Next, the gauges, interior lights (pretty much all power but the engine). The check engine light came one, then the "loss of power reading." During the whole time, the supercharger was down.
Any ideas? I checked all the fluids twice over 10 minutes and all were fine......Hopefully this is a simply problem. The warranty was out Feb 12th.

is the belt still on?



were you making boost in this cold weather?




what codes did the truck throw?

I hope thats the problem. Didn't look at the belts but I didn't think that was the prob. I was not running the truck hard at all. Simply pulled out of a parking lot. Only reason I knew there was no boost was when I pushed the gas to test it.
Would the belt being off cause no power steering?

the belt runs everything! alt, power steering, ac, blower!

Sounds like the likely suspect. Thanks. I'll check it first think in the AM.

If thats the case, how far can I drive it if need be? 1-2 miles to get a new belt if needed or to the dealer?

You can drive it but you wont have a fan working unless you have an E-fan.
Couple miles wont hurt as long as you don't sit idling for a long period of time and it gets hot.

so you didn't check the belt, but you checked the fluids twice????


what supercharger setup do you have and does the supercharger run off of the same belt as everything else??

I wouldn't drive it without a belt, the water pump won't be working.
