Default No blinkers ,horn or brake light

Can anyone help me I recently added apehangers on my 2003 fatboy. After wiring the new controls everything works except the blinkers don't blink the horn don't blow and the brake light doesn't get bright! I wired my old switches to see if the problem was in them or the bars and have the same results! Has anyone ever had this problem or know why this would be? Please help!

did you have to add extensions to the wires for the apes? If so I would be looking at those connections. Have you checked all fuses?

Sounds like you have a wiring/fuse problem. Blinkers on both sides or one side?

As for the brake light, I am gonna bet you possibly broke the ever so sensitive switch in the perch. Or at the least it is not seated properly.

The bars came pre wired and yes it's both sides... I checked all the fuses and nothing appears to be blown ... Is there any possibility of it being the blinker control module I'm not real familiar with wiring but it seems to me that if it was in the bar wiring that when I hooked the old switches up off of the bars that they should work? I'm so confused!

Do the fronts illuminate (Running light mode) and not blink?

Do the rear blinkers blink?

Does the rear pedal activate the brake light?

Absolutely. Do you have an alarm (TSSM) or no (TSM)

Just for grins. Disconnect the battery and let it sit for a few minutes then reconnect your battery..
