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.
