Hey guys! No crank no start. On accessory I get power to speedo light only, on ignition I get nothing. Battery good, fuses/relays good, ignition switch cleaned and tests good. Checked for bad grounds and pinched wires in common areas. Checking starter next. Why is my speedo bulb under power when everything else is dead? Seems weird

 

What kind of bike ?????

Check the kill switch.

 

Kill switch is my first thought as well.

 

Checking starter?.... Exactly how would a starter cause this issue of no power when ignition switch is on?

Forget about the starter and keep your wallet in your pocket, and do some systematic troubleshooting, cheap easy stuff first.

Make sure the battery is fully charged, take it to an auto parts store and have it load tested.

Clean all battery connections.

Once this is done, get your voltmeter and check voltage at the fuses with ignition switch on (read voltage at each side of fuse).

Let us know what you find.

 

Negative battery cable was broken under the heat shrink, thanks y’all.

 

Now there's a problem that doesn't come along everyday.
Congrats on finding it.
