Unhappy Accessories Not working!! Help I want to ride

Hi, I have an 05 Fatboy and I am having Problems with the Accessories. First off the turn signals, horn, and break lights do not work. Running lights do. Second if I switch the ignition switch to ACC nothing happens and nothing turns on. Third I checked the power to the Accessories fuse with a meter and we are not getting power its reading .08 with the others read almost 12. Also My license plate light cord was torn and I fixed that but when I turn the switch to the on position it turns on and right back off. Bike runs fine though. Please help any information would be great im clueless and want to ride but at least need some brake lights. Thanks

Have you checked the ignition switch connections under the dash?

Like QC said you ignition switch is bad, check the connection, and take it apart, clean the contacts use dielelecric grease on the contacts. If it's still bad check it with a volt meter between the bat terminal and the a terminal (r-rn wire)
