Default Softail electrical problems

I have an 06 nightrain with an electrical issue. I turn the power on and the headlight and taillight come on, and so do the turn signals. I look down at the speedometer and the odometer is not on, i try the turn signals and they do not flash, the bike is running fine, I take it down the street and the speedometer is not working nor is the breaklight when I press the break pedal or pull the lever. Any suggestions?

Check the accessory fuse.

If it not the fuse the next place to check is all the connections under the dash... this is the most neglected part of most bikes, yet is critical in their proper operation. Make sure each and every connector is snug and clean and has a light coating of dielectric grease... especially the ignition array.
