Default 98 Fatboy electrical problems????

My 98 Fatboy is having some electrical problems. When I turn the ignition switch on I have no electrical power. No headlight, taillights, horn, dash lights, speedo. Nothing.

I have checked the grounds, battery, replaced the main circuit breaker. Battery voltage is 12.3 volts. I have battery voltage at the red wire at the ignition switch. I tried a jumper between the red/red&black and the red/red&gray. Still nothing. Main circuit breaker has battery voltage on both terminals.

I have to find my shop manual but in the meantime what else can I check? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wayne

Faulty ignition switch? Did you take the console off, remove and clean the connection to the switch?

Yes I removed the console - unplugged the switch and jumped the terminals - still nothing.
