Default Throttle not working..

Hey all, I have a 14 street glide special.. I installed 14 inch apes and bought the extension harnesses from jp cycles... got everything together and had no power on left controls then nothing for a electronic throttle, bike would start but throttle wouldn't work.. I removed the bars and the connections were garbage.. I soldered all new connections and replaced them into the bars, I regained the power back to left controls but no throttle... has it gone into limp mode... also I had the three plugs disconnected as I was messing with the ignition getting it back in place, therefore I have many throttle codes on bike.. would this lock out the throttle having it been Unplugged and many key on cycles? Didn't know if maybe I deleted all the codes and then try to start it will combe back to life? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am lost, I know the green plug is connected for the ignition as they were tight soldered connections, figured maybe the computer **** down the throttle knowing it was disconnected

Clearing the codes will not bring it back to "life". You either have a bad connection or your wiring connections are wrong. If you still have the green plug in place, cut it out and solder.

I think turning the ignition on and off like 5 times, resets the TGS. Someone might chime in on this.

Green wire that comes out of the fly by wire harness that turns into a blue wire at the electronic throttle... the only one I didn't cut and solder and that was it! I stripped this bike 3 times and finally it was perfect
