Default Please Help! 2010 Wide Glide won't start

I relocated the turn signals using the Harley kit, all connections were good and signals working. I buttoned up everything and turned the key, blew 2 15 amp fuses. Replaced them and now the bike won't start. The speedometer does not light but headlight, fuel gauge and oil pump do. When I press the start button, nothing. Battery is fully charged. Tried second key fob, tried the secret code to bypass security system, nothing.

Any ideas? Thanks

Which fuses did you blow..?? Guessing you have a pinched/crossed wire somewhere...re-check your signal wiring...

Sucks. So you depinned the turn signal wires from the connectors under the tank? Then pulled the two sets of 3 wires with pins through the bars and out the switch housings? You cut the little tie wrap holding all the wires together in the switch housing? With the turn signals disconnected it still won't start? You don't need them connected to make the bike run. Maybe you pinched a wire when you put the switch housing back together. I mean the only thing it could be is a pinched wire. Especially if you are blowing fuses. Which fuse is blowing? This will tell you which wire is cut,spliced, touching ground.

I was blowing 2 fuses the one for the lights and the one for the starter. After much diagnosis the issue is in the turn signal housing itself. It seems there is a very particular way the housing goes together and even how the bulb goes into the housing. Put it in wrong and the light will come one bright and do nothing else...

Thanks for the help guys!
