Default 2008 FLHX will not start

I have a 2008 street glide that will not start after I installed the refurbished Harley radio unit. When the ignition is turned on and the run switch activated, I am not hearing the fuel pump noise, I do not have lights at all and no gauge lights. I had the dealership take out the security system before I took delivery on the bike, because I have had previous issues with Harley's security systems on other bikes. I have checked all the fuses, they are all good.

Anybody got an idea, what I may be missing?

sure you got all your harnesses tightly connected inside the fairing?

Sorry just thought about something that may simply be a coincidence. The crank position sensor will cause this kind of behavior.
