Default Need help please!

I just changed my rear fender and attempted to Change grips but thanks to eBay they were wrong .
Any I bought an after market cvo fender and harness. Ever since I put it back together my accessories won’t turn off with the ignition switch ( radio, dash lights, parking lights all staying on. If I turn the power but off on the radio it’s self it will all go off. Oh it is an aftermarket radio also. I have installed voltage equalizer for taillights also. Any help would be appreciated. 2008 street glide

Have you tried to isolate out the harness that was installed? That is where I would start, the only wires that should be always hot are RED not RED and any other color so I would look for anything funny like that. Maybe the O/W wire got swapped with a R wire in one of the connectors causing the O/W wire to always be hot.

Yes I’ve done just about everything narrowed it down to must be a short somewhere on the radio memory circuit. I have even installed the parts o took off to make sure the new ones were not the problem. Does any one have wiring diagrams for the radio memory circuit ?

Check handlebar switch harnesses for a possible pinched wire.
