Turn key on but nothing lights up or works 3 Years, 5 Months ago  
Just bought a used 03 roadstar. It has been running fine until today. Started the bike fine but forgot to turn on the fuel. Stalled out in the driveway. Turned on fuel but bike would not turn over. Thought maybe it was the battery. Hooked it back up to the trickle charger. Now when I turn on the key on nothing happens. No lights, nothing. Checked all the fuses and the battery connections and they all look good. I am totally new to the forum and this is my first post. I will greatly appreciate any guidance you can give me in diagnosing this problem. Thanks.

Did you hit the orange kill switch?

I did use the orange kill switch to turn off the bike if that is what you mean.

He means if you turned your bike off with the kill switch it may still be in the off position, turn it back on, then the key back on and see if it helps.

Did you check the main fuse? It's to the rear and a little lower than the fuse box. It's kinda hidden.

Yes, I checked it. I also tried replacing it with the other 30 amp fuse that was near it.
