Default 2000 Dyna won’t start

I was riding and heard 3 pops then bike completely shut off. I believe my positive wire on my battery tender was touching negative on battery and blew it.
I’ve replaced battery, coil, plugs, wires, and crank position sensor no fuses blown. It will turn over but will not give spark to spark plugs. Any ideas?
Again its a 2000 dyna. Checked all fuses, and has gas in it.

I had a '00 UC that had the handlebar "kill switch" to go bad.
Symptoms went from stalling, hard to start, then no start.
Probably not your problem but until you know what your problem is, it could be anything.

Is this a FI bike or carbed?

I've had both and had the ECM go out on the F.I. bike (the '00 UC) and an ignition module go bad on my carbed ('89 FXSTC( bike.

Happy hunting and let us know what you find.

I had an 02 Dyna that died on me intermittently. Then it got to where it would start, but as soon as I started rolling it would die. Turns out the positive battery cable was broken inside the insulation and when I was idling it would maintain contact. As soon as I pulled out and the bike started moving it would lose contact and die.

I replaced the cable and all was right in the world again.
