Road glide died
I hit a bump on interstate and the motor cut out. I didn’t even notice at first bc the lights, accessories, and radio still worked. I coasted to the shoulder and turned it off and tried to fire it up. Nothing. Fuel pump doesn’t prime and turn signals/hazards won’t come come on. Red key light stays on now so I’m guessing it’s an isssue with the security on the bike. Thought it might’ve been BAS but I did the reset and still nothing. Ignition fuse was blown and was replaced. Still nothing. Looked over the bike and don’t see anything out of the ordinary. Any suggestions?? The bike is a 2011 Road Glide
Not to be insulting .. but is the the off / run switch?
I did that when I first got my SG. Hit it by accident, coasted to the side of the road trying 3 or 4 times to start it with the clutch and down shifting. Once I realized what happened, I had just enough speed to give it one last go.

Batteey cable connections? Exact thing happened to me on my King some years back.
Hit a bump and bike died. Pulled seat. Cable was loose and it touched frame...shorting out. Tightend cables and fuse. All good.

As stated, check the simple, cheap stuff first.
Cables, fuses, even the battery can cause an engine to shutdown.
Also, I had a '00 UC that would die sometimes, be hard to start sometimes without warning and it turned out to be a bad "kill switch".

Agreed, check the simple stuff first. May also want to check the plug that goes into the back of throttle body too.

I replaced the fuse and have the front fairing apart and put a meter on the ignition switch to make sure the switch worked. All was fine. As of now, turn signals, hazards, and fuel pump aren’t working. Could a security issue with the bike maybe cause this? I disconnected the battery and let it reset, and checked fuses/relays. The bike has V&H Fuelpak 3 fuel management on it. Could this cause a problem? I’m lost.
Just a shot in the dark here , but I would check the battery cables for corrosion inside the casing , I've seen cables that look good and were damaged on the inside , hard to see .
Also check the ground connection on the post mounted to the frame just in front of the battery , on the right side , maybe one of them broke loose . Check and clean if necessary .
This could also be a crap shoot , but when was the last time you changed the battery in the FOB ?
