Title: Electrical problem

Turn key on and all I get to come on is tail light and right turn signal.  No head light, dash lights or fuel pump.  Fuses and battery are good.  Any other ideas??  Thanks

Check the starter button, they get stuck in and can cause some weird behavior.  A little cleaning and lubrication usually dos the trick if that's the issue.  Never underestimate the KISS/ Occam's razor thing.

Starter button. Clean it well and keep it lubricated. Often pulling it out to the "rest" position causes the problem to go away but indicates that it needs cleaning.
