There is a lot of Harleys. Need model letters and year.

If it's FI, sounds like fuel pump is not running. It will prime with timer on key on but once CSP reads 20 hits, it runs all the time. If it had a alarm, just can't take it off without writing to ECM and BAS it's removed.

Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia.

Not until you tell us what you are working on, and exactly what you did with the electrical system...

Likely it still has the original ECU and that is likely security. You will need to follow the password learn procedure to unlearn the password from the TSSM. This will be outlined in your FSM under Factory Security System.

Elecrical, imagine that. Wrong harness, or you missed something.
Last one I did, I missed the color code and got a couple wire crossed.
Bull dog mentality set in til I figures out what I missed.

Good luk with that, patience.
