Default 2002 FDXDWG electric problem

Well running the bike the positive side of the battery came loose intermittently, causing back firing and finally dying.
Replaced battery and made connections.
Green blinker lights come on immediately in speedo
Turn ignition on, no reading on odometer mileage, brake light comes on, will not turn over when hitting starter, can not read codes or anything in odometer window. Check all fuses, ok. Neutral light & oil light come on, horn works, no blinkers

Check the connection of the hot wire to the starter see if the hot wire is loose in the
lug. If that don't fix the problem, I would take it to a trust worthy Indy and get it checked out.

it was the ignition switch. The 3rd wire burned up.
soon as I put the after market ignition In and connected the wires the bike came back to life:
