I have a 95 flhtp and I don't get a click, nothing. The battery tests fine for CCA. I have checked all grounds and they are fine but am not sure if this part is good or not. What is it and How do I test it? I'm still waiting on my manual to get here and wanted to get a jump on repairs. Thanks.
I can't tell in the pic where that came from, but it could be the OEM 50 amp fuse/ circuit breaker (#74600-94, superseded by #74600-94A) available online or at your dealer for about $13.00... You can also get them pretty cheap at an auto parts place.
If you get nothing after turning on the key (no lights, no nothing) it could be bad and easy to check....
At the very least, those studs and wire connectors need a very good clean-up.....

We talking about a 28 year old bike here. Looks like starter relay. I had to replace the one on my 1995 Road King. Good luck. Keep them EVOs on the road.
Maybe try posing in the EVO forum.
The pic looks like main circuit breaker. Easy check if it is good is to turn on the ignition and then put a volt meter from each terminal to ground. Should be 12 volts or so at both terminals. If you get voltage at the terminal on the batter side but not the other terminal, breaker is open and probably needs replaced.
If you have lights, horn etc working but no starter cranking, the problem could be the starter relay. It is under the left sidecover by the battery with a couple of other relays. They look like small plastic boxes with 4 or 6 spade terminals sticking out where they plug into their holder. From ancient and vague memory, you can swap the starter relay and the headlight relay or some such to see if the problem moves with the relay, indicating a bad relay.
If the relay is OK, then the problem could be the solenoid winding. Check with a volt meter if you are getting voltage to the solenoid small terminal (not the main battery lead terminal) by putting leads between the terminal and ground while pressing the starter button on the bars.
That's the Main circuit breaker. On my 94 it's located on the splash guard and is a 30 amp.
Like someone else said test it with a digital voltmeter, doesn't matter if the ignition's on.
Both posts should read 12 volts to ground. Or with the ignition ON, "0" post to post, if it's bad you'll read 12 volts post to post.

Help me to understand what it could be doing to read battery voltage in your last sentence 12 volts post to post with ignition on?
The circuit breaker is open, the load side has no voltage on it. The loads are all connected to this side and they're also connected to the negative side. That's how a 12 volt reading across the two terminals would occur if the main switch was in the on or closed position.
