NOTES:
Refer to Ignition/Headlamp Key Switch: 2006 Dyna Models for key switch functions.
The lamps work when the switch is in the IGNITION position as required by law in some localities.

Harley-Davidson 35th Anniversary Super Glide Turn Signal Switch Operation
The turn signal switches are used by the turn signal module to control turn signal operation based on vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration and turn completion. Momentarily depress the desired turn signal switch. The turn signal lamps will begin and continue flashing until they are manually or automatically cancelled. As long as the motorcycle is stationary, the signals will flash.
Note: If you are signaling to turn in one direction and you depress the switch for the opposite turn signal, the first signal is cancelled and the opposite side begins flashing. If you want to stop the lamps from flashing, briefly depress the turn signal switch a second time. The turn signal lamps will stop flashing.
Harley-Davidson 35th Anniversary Super Glide Indicator Lamp
See Indicator Lamps. Five indicator lamps are provided.
- The green TURN indicators will flash when turn signals are activatedÍž therefore, flashing indicates the chosen turn direction. When the 4way hazard flashers are operating, both turn indicators will flash simultaneously.
- The blue BEAM indicator lamp, when lit, signals high beam headlamp operation.
- The green NEUTRAL lamp, when lit, signals the transmission is in neutral gear.
- The red OIL indicator lamp, when lit, signals that oil is not circulating through the engine
The OIL indicator lamp will glow when the ignition is turned on prior to starting engine. With engine running, lamp should be off when engine speed is above idle. Several other circumstances that could cause the red oil indicator lamp to signal, include the following:
- If the oil pressure indicator lamp does not go off at speeds above idling, it is usually because of an empty oil tank or diluted oil.
- In freezing weather the oil feed may clog with ice and sludge, preventing oil circulation.
- A grounded oil signal switch wire.
- A faulty signal switch.
- A damaged or improperly installed check valve
- Trouble with the pump.
Harley-Davidson 35th Anniversary Super Glide Speedometer
See Instruments: Dyna Models. The speedometer registers miles per hour (U.S. models only) or kilometers per hour (international models only) of forward speed. The odometer registers the number of miles/kilometers the vehicle has traveled.
