Had the same problem with the ground under the fairing on my 1990. Motor cranked but that was it, no spark or lights. Mine was on the the left side of the steering neck.

A late reply but ... give the ignition switch a shot of WD40 or contact cleaner into the keyway. This will clean the contacts inside the ign. switch.

Glad you got the problem fixed, Scott.
I did some research on the 1995 FLHTP - and it turns out that there was a RECALL many years ago for guess what... the IGNITION SWITCH!
Don't know if Bertha's was ever replaced under that ancient recall or not... but now you have a new one and should be good to GO for a long time!
Just google 1995 Harley FLHTP and you'll find many interesting links...
