TSM/TSSM has left the chat. Battery is junk if it's been sitting neglected for 4 years.

2003 Ultra Classic No-Start Fix:
- Reconnect the orange 12-pin ECM harness (likely unplugged, causing no fuel/spark).
- Check battery voltage (needs 12.6V+; sitting 4 years = likely dead).
- Test fuses (ECM/ignition), kill switch, and sidestand safety.
- If still dead, verify spark & fuel pump prime.
