Had the tank off to replace donuts and plugs, now when I turn the key nothing. No dash illumination, no start. Battery is fully charged. Fuses good. Everything was fine about a month ago when grass drags were in full swing.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong or where to start?

Is it like the phazers? When I take the top cover off to take off my tank I have to unplug my ignition switch to get it off. Kill switch get pushed without you knowing? Its happened to me.
Just have to unplug fuel pump, which I plugged back in. Kill switch off, but it's dead like the kill switch in on. Thanks.

Sounds like you checked it already but just a stupid thing I did once, was leaving the ignition unplugged. Otherwise I would say turn your key on and cross the leads on the starting relay and see I it turns over, but even if that's the case an the relay is bad you should still have gauge lites.

Make sure the connection is good at the battery, and the battery has a good ground.

x2 on this. So simple but easy to miss. When I installed my Tether/ROV and went to start the sled afterwards nothing... Double checked everything and then like a slap in the face realized I simply forgot to reconnect that d*** little plug.
Thanks for the suggestions, will tripple check everything.

its the starter relay most likely right by the battery - check the fuse on relay 1st - 08 and 09 had this issue alot

Probably not the problem, but did you check to see if the kill button is depressed?

I had my ignition switch go bad last year, just another thing to check

If not a relay problem check the ignition switch connector for corrosion. It's located on the top right of the steering loop. The connection tends to get overlooked when checking for corrosion issues.
