Default '13 FXDB won't start

So I swapped my handlebars yesterday and everything was fine. I just had the levers n that on just to make sure. So with everything working I ran all my wires through the bars and reattached my turn signals. I go today to start it and it won't start. My instrument panel doesn't light up and my turn signals don't work. My headlight and my tail light both light up and the bike primes when I try to start it but nothing. I've checked the signal connections and everything is connected just fine. I don't get it and I'm starting to get frustrated it was fine yesterday

Taking a further look at it I noticed when I put my controls on I clipped a wire and broke it. Anyone think that could do it

More than likely. Otherwise it's something magical.

Take your housing apart and test your wires with a multi meter.

I figured it out. When i tightened the controls back on and clipped that wire I shorted it out and blew the fuse. Put a new fuse in and left that signal unplugged. Starts up but checks on cuz of the unplugged wire. Bonehead move on my part!
