Default 1998 harley dyna wont start

M perfectly well running harley dyna refuses to start up. The battery seems ok but when i turn the switch on, instead on the oil and neutral light, the indicator lights come on. No lights, horn etc. when i switch the engine on switch, a slight tremor happens on the needle on the RPM meter.
An ideas on what it could be and how I could fix it ?
Thank you people !

Looks like a fuse has blown.

The battery connections are loose or way down. You have a volt/ohm meter?

the battery "seems" ok...and that is precisely where you need to start.

Check the voltage when you turn the switch on. If it stays around 12.5 volts, check connections all the way to the fusebox. A battery or battery circuit that cannot deliver current will act like you described...as will corrosion, a loose connection, blown fuse, and a host of other possibilities. You are going to have to systematically eliminate each possibility until you find the problem.

Good luck.
