Help- handlebar wiring
So last week I bought a new set of bars for my 2012 Street Bob and decided to install myself. During the install, one of the wiring harnesses got damaged while trying to remove the pins. No big deal, I thought, I would just cut the wires and solder them.
So I finished running the internal wiring, labeled which wires connected to which. I then disconnected the battery and connected all of the wires with screw-on wire connectors for testing (before soldering). I hooked the battery back up, turned the key to ignition, and tried to turn it on. Nothing.
I double checked the connection on the wires twice (they were fine) and tried again, still nothing.
The problem is clearly something with the bar wiring, because the rear lights come on when I turn the key, and if I press the rear brake the brake lights come on. I'm just seeing no lights on the dash and hearing nothing when I attempt to turn the bike on. Wires seem to be connected just fine.
Any thoughts?

Make sure you didn't pinch any of the wires when you installed the controls housings, I did this on my old sporty, everything worked when the controls were loosened but not when they were tighten, I was pinching a wire between the control housing and the hole the wires went into on the bar.
