Default 2011 FXDB wiring issues

Hey guys, new to the forums and I thought you might be able to help me.

I am finishing putting a new set of bars on my bike. I removed the wires from the connectors and then reinserted them but I am having issues now. The off/run switch on the right side won't switch the fuel pump on, the horn and left turn switch on the left side wont work either. I am sure I rewired it correctly but nothing seems to be working. I've pulled them out and double checked my work half a dozen times, I'm starting to pull my hair out.

The only thing I can think is that I am using a 2010 shop book and possibly they changed something in the interim, anyone have a 2011 shop manual that could take a picture of the main harness page and the hand controls page?

Any other thoughts?

If you took it apart and put it back together exactly the same way it must be something else. You may have shorted out something. Have you checked all the fuses, including the main one?

Yeah the fuses are all good. I need to go get a test light tomorrow and check all of my connections. It is extremely frustrating, to say the least!

I was hoping it was a simple solution. I've had that type of fuse look good and solid but tested bad, so check them when you get the tester.

Do you have 6 or 8 wire connectors?
The horn and left turn signal share a common power, so I would check the Or/Wh wire going to the left side.
The run/stop runs on the Gray and Wh/Blk wire, does the right turn signal work? It is very easy to accidentally swap the Wh/Blk and Wh/Br wires which would kill your run/stop.

I had similar issues when I put bars on. I just ran internal wiring today and realized I had half of the 8 pin conn wired 8 to 5 instead of 5-8 so all wires on half the conn were switched around. I corrected the wiring but have yet to apply power. Have you done a quick visual yet? A flashlight helps even in good lighting.
