Ok guys, I checked fuses, relays, and grounds to and from the battery. All good. I also checked and cleaned the ECM connection. A few pins were quite dirty and looked dark brown/black, almost like they had gotten too hot.
I checked DTCs and got three codes, none of which I was expecting seeing that I thought my problem was no spark. Here are the codes:
P0261 - Front injector open/low
P0263 - rear injector open/low
U1097 - loss of speedo serial data to ECM
Any ideas? I just went and bought a multimeter to begin checking sensors and whatnots. I've never used one before and am somewhat lost, so if anyone could explain how I would go about checking ohms at the coil/crank position senor I would greatly appreciate it.
Update: I checked the coil with the multimeter and the ohms check out. Still not sure how to check the coil lead.

The codes for the injectors say that the ECM doesn't see a complete circuit through the injectors. The yellow/green wire that powers the injectors is the same yellow/green wire that powers the coils. These come from the "System Relay" (not to be confused with the Start Relay). Power is from the battery, to the Maxi-Fuse, to the 15A ECM fuse through the System Relay and to the Injectors, Coil and (through a second fuse) the Fuel Pump. That is why I asked earlier if the fuel pump is working. If the fuel pump is running the the injectors and coil should also have power.
Another point common to all these indicators is the "Rear Ground Stud" under the Electrical Center. A bad connection there would also give the Injector Open and the Loss of Serial Data from the Speedometer.
Post up more if you are still having trouble. Good luck.......................

im new to dynas so maybe this is not possible....but is your battery able to move.I wonder if the post on your battery didnt short when you went over the bump.If so this could potentially be a problem for everyone.Did you check the fuses going from a schematic or did you just check the ones you saw?--good luck

I had this very thing happen a few months back but it happened because I hit a gnarly pothole in the dark. Check your Crank Position Sensor. I followed mine from the from of the engine to the back behind the starter. I pulled it out from behind the starter frame area and sure enough it was stripped a little bit and pinched. I just taped it up and my bike started right up. Have not had a problem since. Definitely check this because I literally had the same issues.

I too am having the same problem with my wide glide! Me and my daughter were riding and I hit a drainage ditch and boom shut off. Pushed it to a parking spot and let it sit for 45 minutes came back and it started up and ran for 5 min. then shut off again? Pushed it for 15 min. and it decided to start, ran for 5 min. again and shut off. Took it out today and it ran for 10 minutes then BAM shut off. It will turn overe fine, and everything lights up and gauges work, I think it loses spark?
