Default Fat Boy panel problem. Please help!

I have a 2011 Fat Boy Lo and this weekend something very weird occurred. When I started my bike, the neutral indicator light on the panel came on and never went off. Even when I put the bike in gear. And most weird yet is that all the lights on the panel are not working. Turn indicators, high beam, oil pressure, all of them. Even my speedometer isn't working. Lights and speed itself. Only the neutral light stays on. And when I turned off the bike the light is still there, shining green. Has anyone ever had this problem before? The bike runs fine, no problem. Only the panel is all messed up! Please help!

I have no clue other then to check your connections under the dash and check any grounds. Hopefully you still have warranty and can get it to a shop.

flux capacitor?

It couldnt hurt to take ground off for a minute and put it back on... Reset anything... Then like Misbehavin said, check the connections under the tank.

I checked the connections and somehow the speedo connector was the other way around as it was supposed to be. When I put it the right way, it worked! Everything is back to normal. The only strange thing is how this happened. I can only assume that while I was out traveling someone tried to mess with my bike. I live on a building with more than 70 apartments and I already told the administrator what happened. He said he would check the surveillance tapes and tell me who it was.

Hate it when some POS pisses with my ride. Find out who it was and show them something that they've never seen before, the other end of their d**k.

Now you have to start wondering what else they might have messed with.
Sounds like a thorough inspection is on order...
