Default Ignition switch problem?

When I turn my key in the ACC position, my speedometer makes the little noise and lights up, but when I turn the key completely to the IGNITION position, everything turn off.

I made a video:

My battery is recent (its second year), fully charged and shows 12.7v with the tester.

Anybody knows what is going on? Could it be my ignition switch that is broken?

Thanks!

BTW: Sportster Custom 2005

The switches do go bad, I had to replace mine 2 years ago for the same symptoms.
