Default Ignition issue

I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

I just got my 15 street glide put back together yesterday after doing bars, riser bushings, rebuilding the front end and new rear shocks. I went to test it and check the electronics but when I turned the ignition switch nothing happened. Gauges didn’t come on, radio didn’t power up, etc. the only thing functioning is the security light is blinking. Fuses are good. Everything is connected correctly.

My my question is this, would a misaligned ignition switch cause a no power scenario? I know I had to realign the tumblers more than once to get the switch to pop in correctly.

Thanks for any info!

Yes. In the future, the plastic ignition switch console can be removed without removing the ignition switch. YouTube has videos on getting the ignition switch reinstalled properly.

+1, you will need to get them aligned correctly, as that will cause issues. - I have had that happen to me.

Make sure the handlebars lock to the left when ignition switch is in lock. This may sound crazy but have you changed the batteries
In your key fob ? I have seen some pretty crazy stuff when my batteries got weak in fob.
I also made a tool out of a piece of copper that I used as a key to align my ignition switch which I learned from you tube
good luck.

R BEE I changed the batteries a while ago and I tested the battery just to be sure. It’s got 3v as it should. I didn’t, however, check for voltage drop on the bike battery. I’ll have my buddy do it today since it’s at his shop and he’s near it.

Thank you everyone for all all of your help!
