Default Need some help here guys

I am converting my 2011 road king and adding a 2015 street glide farring and guages but I am stumped trying to extend my wiring to reach the gauges I have the 2015 interconnect fairing harness just trying to incorporate the gauges into my original gauge wiring system but I can’t as much as get it to even light up hopefully somebody’s been up against this before and may have some tips for me it sure would be appreciated as I don’t have much hair left at this point 😉

No one can guess where your connections went wrong via the internet
Get a meter and a schematic and start tracing
Good luck

The 2015 is a canbus system, did you check to make sure the electrical components are compatible with the earlier system?

And please, find a couple of periods.

As mentioned one of the many Rushmore updates in 14 was the change over to a Canbus ECM system ,even looking at control wiring on the bars from 13 to 14 Street Glide are completely different , I'm sure the gauges are as well as several other items , including the entire support structure for the fairing, another Rushmore update.
