Question Newbie here

Been out of the loop for 15 years. Had A10&A7 Beezers then 59 pan,76FXE,51EL,61FL then a 05 Electra glide Std EFI (which spoiled me). Getting ready to sell the 05 to make room for a Freewheeler. Came here to figure out an electrical problem.Jumped bike(battery low) and started but made ticking noises under right-side plastic cover near fuses(?) Bike won't stay running.can rejump but same ticking and goes dead.
