Default Crank no fire

I have a 2002 FXDWG engine turns over but not getting any fire. The plug to the coil has 3 prong connector, getting power to center, but both sides of it I get no ground. It ran fine when I took it for a ride earlier that day, but when I went to ride it later I got no spark. Battery is good. Can anyone give me any ideas on this

I'll assume it's an aftermarket ignition module.
So there should be 2 white wires on the center coil post. Positive from the On switch and feed to ignition module in the nosecone.
The other 2 coil posts get a ground signal from the ignition module.

The ignition is triggered by the crank position sensor signal, it's the little black piece sticking out of the crankcase near the oil filter. Try unplugging the sensor clean the connector put it back together and try it. Some have tried to read the ohms on the sensor plug. Others may chime in on this or look it in the search.

Have you even tried to do the Diagnostic and check for errors?
