Default Electrical problem

I was working on the ignition on my 2005 Screamin' Eagle, and now neither of my brake lights, my signals (and 4-way flashers), and my horn don't work. Also, the tachometer doesn't work and the tripometer doesn't display, unless I push the button on the back of the instrument cluster.

When I press the "Run" button, the fan sometimes initially comes on for a few seconds. Also, the little red key light on the lower instrument panel will turn on for a few seconds, then turn off, only to turn on and stay on just a few seconds later. The bike starts fine, but the previously-mentioned problems remain. Any help help would be much appreciated.

Check the fuses? The red light means you have a code stored, pull the code out to see what it is and it will give you a direction to look.

Here's the process to do it https://www.hdforums.com/m_43975/tm.htm
