Happy Holidays to all. I have an issue which started this past Tuesday on my 11 FLHTC. I installed a FP3 Monday night and no issues. Road to work Tuesday morning and when I got in I was unable to turn it off using the RUN/stop switch; had to use the ignition switch. I have been doing this since. Checked the ignition fuse, and nothing was wrong. Cleaned the switch with contact cleaner with no luck. Next step replace the switches? Also spoke with V&H support and reloaded original map and that is not the issue. Any help appreciated. TIA. P

Your bike is trying to tell you something. Either it still wants to ride or its telling you your at the wrong job. If that's not it then I have nothing.
My 100% GUESS would be that FP3 is wired into a power source NOT switched off by the Run/Stop switch. Remove the FP3 and see what happens. That is about the only "shade tree" way to find out if the STOP side of your Run/Stop switch has failed.
