My bike just Died

So today heading out to work on my bike. Barely got out of the driveway And it just cuts and dies. As if I hit the kill switch. I have a 2004 Dyna low rider. It will not even turn on. When I turn the key to the on position nothing comes no lights no nothing. So turning over isn't even in the question yet. I have it on the battery tender tonight so we will see in the morning. But anyone have any other Ideas for if this does not work?

Check your battery terminals are tight.

I would guess a loose ground wire. Disconnect your battery and reconnect using a little blue loctite.

I would check the ECM fuse. It happened to mine (out of the blue) on a run over to Atlanta last month. It looked good as it was cracked and not blown, I used a meter to find it........
