2006 sportster(155HP) No power

[alan98]

I am new any help is really appreciated.

Last Sunday we had a big storm in the Ottawa area, so bit of water got sprayed in side the engine area, when I check on Monday the the entire engine area was humid so I left the hood open and next day all dried out. Then Tuesday when I tried to start I heard a sound(dod dod..) around the fuse box area, after few attempt(with the dod dod) the engine start and I went for a ride everything went ok. Then next day the same thing it started with bit difficulty however this weekend it won't start at all.
Now no power to the dash boat, radio also not working, if the battery charge is low then at least the radio should work, I have check all the fusees in the EFB box all seamed to be ok,

Now no power to the dash boat
Is there any other fuse do I have to check?
From the dod dod sound, I believe it came out of a relay what should I check for?

test the battery, you need to rule that out for sure, and make sure there is no corrosion on the posts causing a bad connection. that's the easy thing to check and if you rule that out it will help people on the forum give you better advice. Most of us are going to think this same thing after reading your post so please rule it out for sure.

There is bit of corrosion around the battery post, I clean them up and it is good now.
Thank you Chlarson.
