It just quit

Hey y’all, new here and am having a problem. I rebuilt a 2003 anniversary wide glide that had been wrecked. I got it up and running and put about 300 miles on it. Then it just lost all power riding down the road. When I got back to it after calling a flat bed it started right up. Next day I took it up the road and it died again to not start again. When I turn the key on I get all dash lights brake light and a solid left rear turn signal. Nothing else. I have been tracing wires to no avail has anyone had this happen or have any ideas? I’m at a loss.

Check your ignition switch for corrosion at the contacts

And if that doesn't work then you're gonna have to start inspection all wiring and connections, one at a time. A bike that's been wrecked may not have been put back together well or some things were overlooked.

Sounds like my loose battery cable issue last fall.

Yup. All above, and check all your grounds. Just grab a beer, some tunes, and a free afternoon, and take your time checking everything out that you can possibly reach.
