Default 98 electra, troubleshooting help needed

just recently bought a 98 electra, everything was running great until i took the outer fairing off to plug a speaker back in, i had the bike started during and before i took the fairing off but once i put the fairing back on, i had no headlights, no brake or running lights, no neutral indicator light, and only the spedo light is coming on, and the bike wont start at all, battery is good, ive checked and cleaned every connector behind the fairing, only things working currently is the stereo, blinkers, and the spedo light, where should my mext troubleshooting step be, (i feel whatever the issue is, is something i caused when removing the fairing)
