Guidance needed! 98 Softail Electrical issue
It has been a week of nice weather with me trying to figure out my electrical issue 98 FXSTC softail. Last Friday I drove my bike to work, driving from jobsite to jobsite I probably shut off and started the bike over 20 times. Sure enough at 5:00 had to jump the battery just figured it was hot . On Sunday I charged the battery and took it for a ride. After 30 minutes while driving my bike died. I was under the assumption the battery was toast therefore I bought a brand new battery and still having issues. the new battery is reading almost 13 volts but the moment I hook it up the voltage drops down to roughly 3. Having the battery properly installed I am not getting any clicking on the starter relay or solenoid, no indicator lights, absolutely nothing.
when my bike died while driving, it would turn over but quickly die. before messing with everything I was also getting a faint click. I have inspected and cleaned all the connections. My question is what should I buy first or do next?
