Fuelpak problem

I just bought a 2013 xl1200v sportster. It has V&H Short Shots & a Kuryakyn Velociraptor Intake. There is also a Fuelpak (LCD) on the bike. After riding it a few days, I'm starting to feel like the tuning is not exactly as it should be. Getting a few backfire pops and some slight surges at mid rpms. The previous owner told me the battery had died and I probably needed to re-enter the map. I downloaded the map from V&H site, but when I attempted to enter it, I couldn't get the LCD to come on on the Fuelpak. I'm totally new to this and would appreciate any input.

Solved. After 6 hrs trying to get Vance and Hines Support on the phone or chat to no avail, I called Fuelmoto. Got tech support on the line in under 2 minutes, discussed my problem, don't know if there is a fix for the Fuelpak or if it is brain dead (most likely) , but I have a Dynojet Power Vision on the way ready to flash my ECM and I feel real good about the Fuelmoto support.

Next thing I have to figure out is how to remove the bad Fuelpak. It's hard wired into a big flat plug under the seat. There is another wiring bundle coming off the same plug. The tech at Fuelmoto told me to call him if I had any questions about switching the tuners, but they were closed when I discovered the wiring of the Fuelpak. I was expecting to just unplug it.

I don't have any instructions, it was on the bike when I bought it. I assumed (incorrectly) that it was just plugged in and would be that simple to remove. However if I unplug it I'm unplugging another wiring bundle going off to the oil tank side. Only had a minute to look at it yesterday, so I didn't investigate further. I'll try and find instructions on V&H website. Since it's not working, it looks like I could just cut the wires going to the fuelpak, but I'm not going to make that assumption and I don't want to trash the wiring up on the bike.

Here is where the fuelpak wires go

Finally found info online. Looks like there was a factory plug under the seat that was unplugged and the Fuelpak had a male and female plug that went inline with the factory plug. So, I think I just unplug the two under the seat and reconnect the two on the bike.
