need help with elec. problem
went to start \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; my 06 dyna and i have no \\;\\\\\\;power going to switch, the lights ,nothing.. so i checked the fuses and the battery but all was fine..i probed the red wire going to the ign.switch and no power..i probed the fuses with the test light and nothing. i assume that the switch has to be on to get the fuses to show power with the test light...im at a lose on what to check..anyone know what it could be...i thought the main red wire that goes to the key switch stayed hot all the time and when you turn the key everything gets power.. is this right..

when you say you checked your battery what do you mean? did you tighen your terminals down? have you washed it lately in alot of water or been caught in the rain?
