Default 05 RoadKing ignition problem

If anyone could give me some advice I have a 05 RoadKing custom and I have no power when I turn my ignition on.

So here is what happened I went on a short ride I stopped in the middle of the ride to take a break it was routine bike was running great no problems I turned of my ignition and got off my bike to walk abound when I went to start my bike there was nothing no lights no fuel pump just nothing. When you turn the ignition to accessory I get the mileage that's it nothing else. All the duress are good!

If you have any advice please help

I'd start by checking the battery cables including grounds. If that checks out move on to the ignition switch and main breaker. There's a fault in the main power circuit.

Wouldn't hurt to check the battery voltage too.

Battery cables and grounds are good fuses and main breaker are good. When I unplug the starter switch housing everything comes on when I plug it back in sometimes it goes out it immediately and sometimes I have to's press the start button for it to go out
