Default Electrical problem possibly

Hi all ,
. Electra Glide Classic low 2015 with no electrical except the red dot on dash & some times will show enter code. Parked bike after a ride last month, went to start it back up no dash, no turn signals, horn etc. Replaced battery & still same issue. Couple months back bike wouldn't turn off. Oiled security ignition key lock up & all was good till now. Would like to get it going so I can ride it to HD shop.
Thanks for any info
Dale

Does the bike have security and do you have a key fob on the key chain?

Enter your PIN and magical things will happen, Lights, fuel pump and an active start button. Or do what Donneylee says...then make sure you know your PIN.

Yes replaced fob battery also. It does have security system. I'll give the pin a shot again. I tried that with old battery so cant hurt with new.

If I turn my ignition on without the Fob the security light flashes fast and the words Enter PIN alternate in the odometer display. Thought the fob battery would fix it. Make sure the fob battery is good and installed correct plus side down.

When your bike wouldn’t shut off were you using the ignition switch or the run/stop switch?

I bought another battery just in case the "new" was bad. Same result. Battery in fob +side down. No however I pulled security ignition lock out & as I was removing it I get power, but only when its partially out or all way out. Another but either that once I put it back in all way I loose all power. Then after reinstalling the fork lock LOCKED & will not unlock....grrr. I generally turn off bike with run/stop so at the time the motor stopped but all electrical was on even after turning ignition switch off.

Great video thanks. Back at it today. Another day & no power again no matter whether ignition lock in or out. Moved inside slot & still can't get forks to move. Looks like theres some rusted pieces underneath on lock shaft. I'll try to post a pic I took. I read somewhere theres a piece in there than can disintegrate & not allow the fork to lock or unlock.
