I am having a real issue with my 2000 GL1500.
Everything on the bike worked before this issue.
Started it up, ran for about 15 seconds and quit.
Turned the key off then on and it started and immediately shut down.
Now it does nothing.
Both shut downs, everything on the dash went out, as if the battery was disconnected.
Tested all fuses including #12 and #13 and dog bone. all good. Starter solenoid 30A fuse is good also.
Relays are all in working order via testing.
Bank angle is works via jumping RED and Red/White wire.
Out of curiosity I jumped each fuse with a battery charger and fuse #11 lights everything up on the dash.
The bike started and ran like normal. Remove the power, back to square one.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Fuse box #11 No power situation
Fuse 11 gets it's power right from the ignition switch. So that switch and the connectors along the way are the first places to check. Test along the way before disconnecting or moving too much. Otherwise, the problem might go away and then you will have no clue as to what caused it or what needs to be done to make sure it doesn't come back when you are in the middle of nowhere.

Re: Fuse box #11 No power situation
Check the battery terminals, as well as the battery cables. They can corrode internally. Wiggle them around and see if power is restored.
Re: Fuse box #11 No power situation
Thanks for the suggestion, I did that first in the beginning of this issue. Dielectric grease when I clean and assemble.
Cleaned the connections of the battery, starter solenoid A (including R&R&R a new one), starter solenoid B (may as well as long as I was in the area).
Pulled all fuses and meter tested. I go as far as mildly finger twisting while alligator clipped.
All the relays I switched with a known working relay, all were good.
Since I have the seat off to test the Bank Angle sensor, I opened the 'Dog Bone' fuse and checked the relay, both are good.
I have searched relentlessly for a picture or drawing for the wire routing of fuse #11.
Same for the RED wire from the starter solenoid A to the ignition switch.
Just repeating, jumping the #11 fuse (right side if a short occurs) the bike works 100%. This indicates to me the issue is one of 2 I listed.
Wherever possible, did the usual wire wiggles of all I can see.
When it comes to electrical, I am rather weak. I can view the wiring diagrams but that does not visually show where on the bike to look.
Thank you for your assistance.
If possible, draw the wire routes.
