Default 2013 Fatboy lo 103ci ignition switch problem?

Will not start at times. Will some times cut of and lose all electrical power while running down the road, wiggle the ignition switch some and will start back up. Now some times when starting bike will just click and not start. Wiggle the switch and may start. Wires to switch are very small so no heavy power is carried. Could it be a module?

If wiggling the ignition switch solves the issue, then it's probably the switch. Disassemble, clean contacts, put back together and ride.

Thanks for the info. Will try that. Have older Harley where the switch carries all the power, wasn't sure about this beast..
