New battery. Checks OK and fully charged. Turn key and NOTHING happens - no electrical power to anything. Checked grounding of battery to frame and that's OK. Next step is fuses, but at a loss for the moment.

Ideas???????
 
Check the ignition switch under the hood, I had problems with mine and had to replace it. Another question, was everything working before you replaced the battery? Rick

Yes. Actually had drove the unit quite a bit. Was going to take it out for a bit of exercise when this problem cropped up.
 
tough one. Start with the switch you sure the battery is in correctly and the voltage is good? Rare but new batteries have gone bad.
 
Gonna go to the most obvious first since it's also the most overlooked.

Tilt the steering wheel down & try to start it.

That is TMS built in security system LOL. I found out the hard way the day I tried to drive it. Wouldn't start with the steering wheel full up. My X had been riding with no issues and she got on, lowered the wheel and started right up. The ignition switch is one cog off when installed as I was told while I was at the factory. I said leave it as I've been known to leave the keys in it on occasion. Didn't even charge for the added security system either, enjoy. Tomg
