Default Help needed!
So, I took off my fairing and replaced the clutch cable on my 09 street glide. When I got it back together... it won’t start. The fuel pump doesn’t prime, and the lights don’t come on. I’ve since checked all the connections and haven’t been able to find the problem. The fuses in the main fuse box are all good. Any ideas?

Did you unplug the power cable to the key switch? Does anything come on at all?

The gauges run thru their start up and the mileage flashes.

Did you happen to take the Ignition switch out to remove the fairing?

No, I removed the outer fairing not the inner.

Did you check the main fuse, 40 amp fuse?
do you have a volt meter?
