Default Dead as a door Nail

2011 FLHTCU, yesterday went for a ride with my son. I had no issues, pulled into the garage and called it a night. This morning I turn the ignition key, nothing, not even a single light, hum, nodda. I checked the switch it was set to run. I check the battery 13 volts, I check the main fuse, it tests good. The battery is 9 years old, I keep it on a battery tender, I figured it could be bad, but couldn't load test it. I purchased a new battery from batteries plus, it shows a little over 13 volts. I hook it up nothing. All the fuses check good, battery is good. I pulled the radio memory fuse and it has some voltage with the main fuse pulled. I've checked connections and they are tight. Could it be a bad ignition switch or run switch? I'm at a loss. Bike does not have the security system.

Has anyone had HOG road America pick up their bike from the house? I have the Ultra level service.

Thanks,

Matt

Well, I pushed the bike out of the garage and the steering locked. I removed the ignition switch, put it back in and now it's alive.

Wow, that’s good news. Did you do something with the ignition switch before this occurred?

Does it have security? If so, check your fob battery.

Never had the ignition switch out before. My bike didn't come with security. Thanks men!
