Head Scratcher?

Head Scratcher?
'02 Heritage Springer, running fine yesterday, this morning turn on ignition and:
1) No lights, but fender light and brake lights work.
2) No neutral, high beam or oil lights, but horn works.
3) Odometer shows miles, but engine won't crank.
All fuses are good, battery is charged and connections are good. Carb model.
Bad ignition switch?

Took it apart, cleaned the switch contacts really well. They were pretty nasty. Bike starts and runs. Lights work. Now no horn, no odometer, no brake lights. No turn signals in either situation, but front running lights are now on. Fuses all good.
This is the type of situation I associate with a chewed up electrical system. Not the case here. I've had this bike since 2002 and no problems like this. When I figure it out it will probably be something simple.

This switch has had a lot of use in 8 years. The old style switrch probably would have failed a long time ago.
