Default What"s wrong??

Here is the situation: 2013 FLHX. Last rode 10 days ago with no problems. Went to start yesterday and: First noticed tuner not on. Hit start button and nothing. Headlight not on,only upper and lower parking lights. Front running/directionals not on. Rear lights on. No turn signals. Horn very slight beep. Checked all fuses. New battery this year and fully charged. Checked ground wire and looks good. Not sure what next. Bad relays? Thoughts??

Congrats on your first post on HDF.

Even new batteries go bad. Remove it and get it tested at Advance Auto or other parts store. Just because the battery is fully charged and showing 12.5 or higher volts does not mean it has enough amperage. Check the battery first and if it has enough Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) then start looking at other things.

By tuner you mean EFI Tuner ?

No, I meant the stereo tuner. It caught my eye when I turned the ignition on.

Ok, like I said in my previous post get the battery checked and go from there.

Like Cool Breeze said, charge the battery and get it load tested. If it is good run the draw test to see if something is draining the battery.
