2001 Sprint Rs Not Starting No Juice To Anything

First here is me and the bike. 2001 Sprint RS 955i



Okay on to the problem. At the end of last year's riding season the bike went dead on me, I mean it completely died down while riding killing all electrical power, period. The way it died made me think of an alternator going bad so I went ahead and found one and replaced it, charged the batter and boom nothing, not a thing.

It is now well into spring and I have a manual and I'm trying to figure this out. The shop manual talks about an ECM relay but it really addresses it on other models except the 2001 Sprint RS. I called the dealer to check on a relay and he gave me a part # and said it wasn't available. When tracking down that part # it is a $1,900 ECM (not a relay). I'm starting to think that there is no relay, just the ECM.

So here are the symptoms with a fully charged battery. Turn the switch on and nothing, I mean nothing. No dash lights, no headlights, no beeps, no whistles, nothing not even a hiccup. It would the same thing as taking the battery out and putting it in the next room and then turning the switch on.

So do I really have a $1,900 ECM gone bad on a 19 year old motorcycle that runs really great?

Any and all help appreciated.

Checked and rechecked. This is seems more than multiple failure, a complete system failure.

 

My thoughts was a relay but I can't find one that it would be. The wiring diagram shows an ECM relay but all indicators show nothing but the actual ECM.

 

Thanks If I can't get this figured out I may order the ECM off of E-bay. I know I can't put a $1900 part on a 19 year old bike

 

Looked over that list and nothing there applies to my situation. That list is pretty straight forward and based on getting at least some reaction when you turn the switch on. I get nothing when turning the switch on. No headlight, no dash lights, no horn, no clicking. It is like the switch is not even connected. There is absolutely nothing happening when the switch is turned on.

 

Good suggestions. I will start looking there and see what I can find.

 

Battery tested and good, checked with a multi-meter. We've checked at the solenoid and no juice there. All the fuses checked and double checked. Our first thought was there was something between the battery and the switch that was gone. I had to wait till the manual came in with the wiring diagram before we went much further.

That was what lead me to the ECM but now you guys have me thinking switch issue.
