Angry Bike won't start, loss of 12 volt power

Started my 07 ultra this morning and it immediately shut down. Turn ignition switch on and I have nothing. No check engine light, no running lights, no horn, no nothing except the security system key light flashing. Checked the battery and it is fine, checked all fuses and they are fine. Only one time did I see intermitten power and that was when the ignition switch was part way between off and igniton on. I pulled the ignition about a month ago to adjust my handlebars. I'm at a loss here, how about a little guidance from the pros's.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

I never have set the security on mine but the flashing light should be a clue I would think..
The fact you had your ignition off too leads me to look at that as well.


Good luck

Manually override the security ussing the turn signal switches per the owner's manual.

I can't override the security because I don't have any power to the bike at all, only the security light blinks and that is because it is on the own backup battery. No power to radio, lights or anything.

try playing with the ignition switch, being you removed it it might not be in the correct spot, just wiggle it around.

I had that problem last summer. It turned out to be a loose connection at the battery terminal.
