No start

I have a new to me DB 885. I used it shut it off and now it has nothing. No lights or anything. Battery has juice and good connections. What should I be looking at to try and diagnose what's wrong. I'm thinking key switch since there is no lights or anything.

Have you cleaned the connections at both ends of both battery cables?

It might be a bad switch, but it might be something else like a broken wire or bad connection.

Diagnose, use a test light or voltmeter and follow the power to see where it stops. Power at battery, power at solenoid, power at switch, etc.

My 1390 did the same thing and I traced it down to a bad connection on the key switch. I cleaned it up and have not had a problem since
