Default URGENT HELP! Side of the road not starting!

Cut to the chase! Washed the bike today (05 f4i) toweled dried it. Everything seemed to be fine... Turned it on and took it for a spin and drove for about 3 minutes. Stopped at the spot I'm at now to take some pics and now the bike won't start

-turns over but won't start
-no headlights working (both low and high I have HIDS)
-no from turn signals working
-tail light and back signals working
-battery seems fine


I'm thinking I fried something when i washed it

Stuck on te side of the road unsure of what to do any help would be great guys!!!

Also: when I turn the ignition on that normal buzzing start up sound (fuel pump or fan) not sure what it actually is doesn't come on. No initializing sound at all. :/. I have a tool kit with me any advice would be great

Check your connections. One may have got wet. The lights need to work or the bike won't start....

Fuses too.

If the lights dont work does that mean the fuel pump won't prime? The 6 fuses under the seat look fine... Any idea which connections to specifically check? Are there any other fuses?

No lights=no pump

Check anything that could have got wet up front.

Check the headlight wiring harness plug, too. It would affect both lights and ability to start (bank angle sensor will be disconnected, causing no fuel pump -- it will crank but never fire).
