Default Turns over. Won't start!

My 2012 Flhtk won't start. Turn on the ignition, but when I flip the switch the fuel pump does not turn on. Then just turns over no start. Any ideas?

My first thought would be fuse. Of course any time a fuse blows, I have to wonder why.

Checked the fuse... It's good. This is not the fisrt time... Happened first in Utah. I pulled the seat and just wiggled connections and it worked. A week later at home it did it again. I did the same procedure and rode to the dealer. Of course, they could not get it to fail. Now, about a month later. Same thing. This time none of my usual fixes worked. I'll have them pick it up Tuesday am and let you know.

Give it back to the stealer and get a new bike if they can't fix the problem!

Default I had the same problem

My 5 month old road king would kick over but not start. Harley assist towed it to the local dealer. Turned out the battery had enough charge to turn it over butnot enough to start it. They replaced it under warranty and its as a goodas gold.
