Bike is totally dead

I started it, and it cranked and then immediately shut off. Do you think its a fuse? and where is the box. The battery is fine, I have a tickle charger and it says the battery is full.

I would check your main fuse first(the most likely problem).
It is located on the starter relay(should be under the side covers close to the battery)
If this fuse is OK clean up connections on this and battery terminals and check for your 12v at the starter relay.

Come back to me if you have to check further

Battery voltage drop

Sounds like the starter motor itself. Does the engine turn at all when you try to crank it?

I have a 2003 DynaGlyde, Carbureted, security and a battery that holds charge. The bike sat for a year I went to pick it up got it home in the back of my truck threw my battery charger on it to 15 amps...

Man, that's the best description I've ever seen of a problem with a bike on this site. Regrettably, I don't have a clue as to what the problem is but I can tell you that I've read about the turn signal staying on in many instances. I'm an old school biker and mechanic and I don't have any experience with the computer controlled bikes or security systems. To me, it sounds like the security system has got the bike disabled for some reason. This seems to be the case mostly when the battery goes dead and then the owner recharges the battery or installs a new battery. The security disables the ignition system thinking someone is trying to steal the bike and it communicates with the owner or mechanic through the turn signal system. Have you read the owner's manual about the security system? The turn signal staying on constantly may be trying to tell you what the problem is. I really wish I could help more but that's all I've got.

Good Luck
Steve
