Default headlight and starter don't work, signals do

Can someone give me some guidance. My 96 Dyna wouldn't start and the headlight and taillights and brake lights would not work but the turn signals would operate fine. I thought it was due to a bad battery so bought a new one, charged it up, cleaned contacts, installed and tightened connections and no change. Still won't crank or make any noise when I hit starter button and no lights work except the signals. Could this be an ignition switch issue? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You,

Does it have a fuse anywhere? Usually bikes have a main circuit breaker, not a fuse, but even a circuit breaker could go bad.

Follow the positive wires off the battery, one will go directly to the starter and one should go to a circuit breaker or fuse. Check for continuity.

It was a bad ignition switch. Replaced ignition switch and solved all problems.

Wow! I hope it didn't take 13 years to fix it!
