Default Replaced Rocker Gaskets, Now No Electrical Power

Hello everyone,

I have a 2007 sportster 1200 and I replaced my rocker gaskets today with no problems but, when I was all done I went to turn on the power to the bike and all I got was the Oil light, a dim neutral light, and a very dim headlight. The horn doesn't work, the odometer is not showing, my fuelpak is not getting power, and I don't hear the fuel pump getting power.

When I changed the gaskets the only plugs I disconnected was the fuel pump connector, the connector that is attached to the wire that goes into the rear cylinder, and the connector for the coil pack.

I made sure the battery has a charge, I then went back and checked all of my connections and they are all connected, i also checked the fuses and there aren't any broken fuses.

If anyone has any ideas and can help that would be great!
Thanks!

Is your maxi fuse in all the way? Sounds more like poor ground connection. Did you pull the ground off when doing work or unplug the maxi fuse? If those check out good swap relays and see what happens.

Sure sounds like a weak battery.
