Ok got it after checking every thing other than the ignition switch. It ripped it out and hot wired it and it worked. So if you got these symptoms try going there first unlike what I did. Hope this helps some body

I rode my 96 1200 sportster home from work yesterday, no problems. I came back out 15 minutes later to put it in the garage. I turned on the key but just the odometer light came on and nothing else, no oil light, neutral light, head light or blinkers and it didn't do anything when I hit the starter button. But the horn worked fine normal loudness. The battery is about 2 years old. Anyone has any suggestions? Thanks so much,Nancy

Need help... I have same problem. What was wrong with it?
having similar issue with fatboy. Charged battery but now get no lights (speedometer, etc) when key turned to "ignition". Do get light in speedo when turned to "accessory".
Battery at full charge. All fuses look good. Could this be the start relay? I wouldn't think that would keep lights from coming on.

He hasn't logged in here for 12 years. I doubt you will get that answer. Try starting your own thread if you need some help.
