Default No electrical power

I have a 09 fatboy, other then some chrome everything is stock.I turn the switch on. Activated the on/off switch, electrical power came up, waited for the appropriate time, hit the starter switch got half a turn on the starter then everything went dead. I have no electrical power for lights or anything, switched to auxiliary and the millage displayed but nothing else. I checked all the 15 amp fuses and they are fine. Were should I go next please?

unplug ignition switch see if it's getting power. if so use jumper wire if u get lights start up it's switch. check all your cables for good connections. ground wires do this first then check switch.

Check all the battery cables on both ends for corrosion and tightness. Always start with the cheapest remedies first!
