Default Electrical Problem

This is an intermittent problem that just started yesterday.
07 Ultra, stage 1 w/Power Commander.
This happened twice yesterday.
Turn ignition on. Lights, radio and all gauges work fine.
However, the fuel pump does not come on. Motor does not turn over
and no noises (clicking). After numerous tries the fuel pump comes on and bike starts fine.
Checked battery this morning and it's at 13.2 volts.
Tried starting about 6 times today with no problems.
I haven't checked any connections yet.
Any idea where to start?
Thanks.

Default Try the switch

I was having issues with my 2010 Ultra Classic. Fully charged battery and it would not turn over and the fuel pump did not click. Someone on this forum suggested pulling the ignition switch, give it a cleaning and a little lube. I couldn't see how that would make any difference but I did it anyway and I have not had a problem since. I also started using a battery maintainer, I live in Florida and ride probably 4 times a week and I didn't think this would make much of a difference either, but cheap to try.
