Default Replaced Oll Lines now Electrical issues

Replaced all 3 oil lines

Since an electrical issue, head light, foot break light, left turn and security light stay on when running/ cut out at times bike runs same with lights on or off. i have removed the fender as I assumed i didn't get the rear harness connected tight, checked and cleaned all connections,

Brake light works with front brake, only foot break light isn't working.
Head light out,

turn on and off together randomly
security light
left turn signal.

Run a diagnostic scan for error codes to pinpoint the issues. Sounds like loose or failed electrical connections.

If nothing was wrong with the electrics until you did the maintenance then see that as something you did. That at least rules out a coincidence.

As above start by checking for codes. Explained here - Harley Trouble Codes (fuelmotousa.com)

You might of disturbed a connector or 3. You might of damaged some wires.

I would start by doing a thorough visual. I would give any connectors close by a pull and a wiggle.

09 bike check all fuses and relays are seated properly and show no signs of corrosion.

Check the ground wire is not damaged and the connection is clean and tight that is connected to the right side of the crankcase. Check other end at battery.
