I have a 2004 Road Glide. Problem I have is bike is dead. Battery is good. Only 2 months old. Has no power anywhere. NO LIGHTS NO GUAGES NOTHING. I turn to ignition I get nothing but when I turn back to off I here what sounds like fuel pump Or something activate and see gauges jump slightly a few times. I have changed all fuses in fuse block under side cover including the maxi fuse. Am I missing some somewhere? WHERE IS THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER LOCATED ON AN 04 ROADGLIDE? Could that be it? Are there other circuit breakers I'm missing?I'm at a loss. Cant figure out why it does that only when I turn it to off position not the ignition position.This all started on a trip back from maine. I was riding and heard a small pop or something and saw engine light come on for a second then fo out. Bike started running like it was only on 1 cylinder. Tried to limp it home. Could not let off throttle at tolls or it would die. Tried to get home. Ut was almost out of gas. Had to stop. Shut bike off. Got gas . Turned key on
All gauges a d lights were on but when I hit start I heard a click. Turned it back off then tried again but when I turned key to ignition it was completely dead from that point to now

How do you know the battery is good? Unless you've load tested it or measured the battery voltage in the bike with the key on, it and the battery cable connections on both ends of each cable are the #1 suspects...

Ok point taken. I'm just assuming it's good since it is that new a d holds charge a d measures good when battery is on floor our of bike. Didnt see any issues with cables a anywhere unless I missed something

Check your battery cable and your grounds. I know this sounds like an incredibly simple piece of advice, but experience tells me to start with the simple stuff.

(I had an old Camaro that was exhibiting weird starting issues. Starter would run and die. Give it a minute and it was fine. Crank it again and it would do the same.....after a day of messing with he starter and relays, I found the main battery terminal was old and loose..........)

Sounds like a loose ground or grounding issue

Pull your battery charge it and load test it. I've d batteries fail in as little as 4 months. That's where I'd start.

With no power anywhere the origins of the problem are very limited. Your bike probably has a main fuse, which may either have blown or be badly corroded. Having checked your battery condition as suggested above, check both ends of both main battery cables - dismantle each, clean and refit using dialectic grease.

I will guess a loose or corroded connection on the ground cable on the frame end. Either that or a bad ignition switch. - or maybe a lose wire connection at the switch.

Reading you’re description, I don’t think this is the case, but did you have your ignition switch out recently? Maybe the ignition cams got moved out of place? - Just a thought. . .
