Default 1997 road king won’t start

I have a 1997 road king efi and while I was riding the bike shut down on me. I still have power and the bike try’s the start but the problem is I have no spark and the fuel pump won’t prime. I already replaced the 2 relays under the seat and the 4 fuses under the left side cover but I am not sure what else to check.

Start by checking battery cables and confirming they are good and tight connections at both ends.
