Default Controls issue after Handlebar change

Hello All,

I have a 2010 harley rocker c and changing out the handlebars and I bought new handlebar controls because I didn't want to mess around with removing the current ones from the handlebars. After the new install my signal lights, horn, brake lights, and license plate light don't work. So I decide to place back the previous handlebars with the old handlebar controls which were in tact and working, now the same thing is happening. Has anyone out there encountered the same issue?

Cheers,
Gdraco

did you pull the maxi fuse when changing connections? could you have popped a fuse? if those check out, make sure you didn't pinch something causing a short.

I'd start there first.

Additionally, check every connector you touched to make sure they are fully connected.

If all are all connected, then unplug and replug any that were disconnected for the install. Inspect them to make sure you didn't bend a pin in one of the connectors.

Keep us posted...
