Boy that's a strange one. Would think there was a bad ignition switch but the fact that the fuel pump charged and you have a tail light rule that out completly. I would start by taking a look at the first connector downwind from the ignition switch and see if it has pulled loose somehow but still making a slight connectionn on some contacts. Other than that I'm afraid you are just going to have to start chasing wires etc or run her to the darn dealer at $50.00 an hour.

thanks WTS,

we checked as much as we could ,but had no ;uck. i have on prior ocassions lost the horn & speedometer,but never like this. since starter & fuel pump switch are in the same houseing,but on the other side the head light worked,but not the horn,turn signals or brake indicator. we had a break in the rain here yesterday (sat) so we trailered it to the HD shop. guess i'll have to ride mama's 03 springer - softtail to work this week. weather permitting !
