Default 2007 road king not starting

Hello all!!
So i went to go start my bike up and turn the key, everything powers up hits start button and nada. Fuel pump primes, lights come on then the hazards lights just keep flashing. I changed the battery in the fob and still nothing. If y’all have any suggestions that’ll be great!! Thank you

Replace the starter relay. It’ll be the gray, square little block inside the fuse box. About $10-$15 if I remember correctly. This gave me a fit on my bike.

The relay will not cause the hazard lights to flash.

​​​​​​​It sounds like a security issue.

But first make sure the battery is good, if it is over 3 years old, buy a new battery.
