It is a 2008, I had the dealer flash the ECM after I swap 96" for 103", I got Harleys harness wired it up the bike wouldn't start due to the fuel pump wasn't coming on, I disconnected the harness the bike started, I took it to Harley had them flash the ECM I had asked the service writer since I had them flash the ECM if the ACR's would work and he said no cause my ECM never had ACR's in it.....That's why I'm wondering if I take the 2 ACR wires from the harness hook them up to a ignition switched wire and take the 1 wire that goes to the ECM plug from the harness and hook it up to the starter switch wire if that will make the ACR's work??

The wire that goes to the ECM is the ground (negative). The other two wires (yellow) are joined inside the harness are the power (positive).

Correct. This is why connecting to starter does not work.

Don't know, but if there is constant power to the 2 wires at the fuse block then the ground must be switched (makes connection when you press start button).

Again, I don't know personally, but it should work. There have been a lot of threads on this where someone has installed ACR'S on a non ACR bike and not bought the extra ACR harness. Stupid question but have you googled it?

Don't mean to offend but if you're not that confident with electrical and your dealer can't help you out it might be better to find an Indy to help you out before you short something out.
