Default Not starting

I have a 2002 FLSTF and was getting it out for the first time this spring, and it will not start. I replaced the battery, it was at least five years old and failed a load test. This did not fix the problem. I checked the connections at the starter, and all of the fuses are good as well.

When I push the start button, nothing happens. No clicks, the lights don't dim or anything. I also noticed that the turn signals are not working either. I know it is probably a wiring issue, but I am unsure where to start.Any info ordirections to the appropriate forum would be greatly appreciated.

Default RE: Not starting

Not intended to be a smart *** answer, but did you charged the battery before putting it in?
