Looking for some help

I have a 2002 Low Rider. My headlight will only come on if the Run switch is off. The front turn signals will not come on at all. If I plug the front signals in and turn the ignition switch to ON everything shuts off. If I put it to ACC everything but the front lights work.
The bike will not start, I have replaced the TSSM with one from eBay and also replaced the Ignition Module with one from eBay.

It sounds like you need to do some continuity tests on the main harness to the handlebar controls to make sure nothing is shorting out.

Did you do anything to the bike before this started happening or did it just start out of the blue?

There are a ton of threads on electrical issues...but I always say anytime you have an electrical issue start with the charging system (to rule it out). Don't know how many times i seen some really wacky issues caused by either loose or broken battery cables.

Start with a full check of the system, then clean and cleck the cables, make sure they are not broken and are nice and tight. Then load test your battery then check stator output and regulator voltage.

Once you know that is all good, then your going to have to try and track it down to either a broken wire or loose connection somewhere.....
