Bonneville Won’t Start

[Grayhound]

Hey! I have 13 Bonneville that I can not figure out.
When I turn the key head light turns on, dash lights up with oil light but no fuel pump noise and won’t even try to crank over. Put a new battery in but still nothing.
Was thinking maybe the tip over switch. Not sure what to look into first

Have you checked the coils, and rectifier? Sounds like an ignition system issue.

Similar problem. Try the clutch lever switch. There's a simple slide spring/switch in there that can seize.

Check your fuses. The fuel pump not starting is a symptom of a contact not made up.

If it was ignition issue, it would crank, and fuel pump would work. - either a fuse, or a safety interlock (e.g.side stand switch, kill switch)

Most likely it's the start relay. If you have access to an electrical diagram it would help. Looking at one diagram for the America and Speedmaster with EFI when you depress the start button the headlight should go out, when that happens power is fed through that switch to the starter relay. If you mash the button and the headlight doesn't go out it's a relay problem.
