Default Security Antenna DTC

I've got a 2012 Wide Glide that has a DTC that won't clear. I'm getting B2178 Security antenna output shorted low. The security system still works with the FOB with no issues. The only electrical change is my Dynojet Power Vision tuner. I've replaced the $13 security antenna and the error persist. I've cleaned up the wiring mess under the seat and looked for damaged wires with no success. I've searched this site and the web with no luck. I'm just wondering if anybody else has had this DTC. Any help or suggestions welcome.

This is from the 2014 Touring Electrical Diagnostic Manual for DTC B2178. Connector 209 it the connection to the antenna. Hope this helps.
