Default 2001 Dyna headlight swap woes

Hey, I'm trying to swap my headlight out and I am now having issues where I don't have power to the headlight or the taillight. I'm looking at the wiring schematic and the only thing that they really haven't come and from what I can see is the ground. I have checked the ground wires and they are solid. I did not have this issue before I started. I've checked every connection I've dropped a meter on the terminals for the plug for the headlight the bike will start and run no issues the turn signals work only when you want the signal to blank. It does not illuminate with the switch on in the ignition position.

It was indeed the fuse. I had the battery disconnected when I was doing the swap too.

Thanks for the help
