left handlebar controls dead after changing risers
i am not sure if i streched the wire that goes through the apebar to the handlebars....but I don't think so because I just laid the handlebar on the tank with blanket below
so now all left controls are dead, the right are working....
i opened the connector under the gastank where the wires connect....one has 3 pines coming from the hole under the tank the other one coming from handlebar has 4 pins inside
I cant see any loose wires
also I opened the left handlebar enclosure and I cant come to the wires....is it possible to do it somehow? I need to check all the wires of they are properly connected....

The previous owner may have de pinned the connector or plug that plugs in by the tank. and the soldered extensions that are now inside the bars. You are going to have to check the continuity of the wires from the switches to the connector like already suggested. In my opinion 18" bars required wiring extensions and are most likely soldered.
The very 1st thing I would do is check for power at the plug by the tank. You def need a wiring diagram for your bike and a Volt meter or a test light. If you have power at the plug/connector then the problem is most likely in the wiring in the bars. I doubt all the left hand switches failed at the same time.
Sounds like you are not experienced in trobleshooting electrical circuits so you need to look around to see how to check continuity, how to pierce a wire with a test light and understand where the power source is for your left switch pack.

I suspect also that the cable is extended inside the handlebar, and when I stretched it the wires got unplugged probably inside the handlebar...but I am afraid to pull It out though...how to get it back in is even worse....
but also the connector under the tank the male plug coming from under the bike has only 3 pins inside, i am not sure if there should be 4 or 3...or maybe one is broken?
I have service manual and electric manual for 2013 street bob but I don't know where to search for this info?
I also measure with voltmeter switching to Volts and I got some power from male connector...don't know how much but there is power...
i am electrical newby, have no idea how to measure
