You have to enable the ACR' s in your software. Are you using a Harley tuner??

Did you ask them to enable the ACR's when they downloaded the tune? Are they reconnected? Are they working?

I'm out....

The dealer knows I did the engine swap, I have not hooked the wire back up cause it is a pain in the ***, I don't want to go through hooking them back up if they are not going to work, you have to pull the fuse block apart and move wires around and you have to take the ECM plug apart and put a wire in the plug. I asked the service writer if I hooked the wires back up if they would work and he said IDK, I guess I should ask the tech , or just take the wires that are supposed to go in the fuse block and tap them in to the green wire on the starter

I may be wrong but my faded memory thinks '09 was the first year the bikes were wired for arc? And yeah it is a pain to wire them.

If they were enabled in the ECM but disconnected at the harness I would think that they would throw code. If you hook them back up and they are not turned on more than likely your check engine light will come on until you take it back in and have them turn them on in the ECM with Digital Technician. You can hear them when they are on when the bike turns over before it starts. I just had this done to my 2010 over the winter with the 107 build. It works flawlessly.

Harley lists the kit as fitting the 08's and up. It was a change that went through with the TBW bikes.
