Default Need help!

I have an 07 road king classic and I'm having trouble with my controls. I installed some new ape hangers. I got my control wires ran through and hooked up properly. I checked to make sure everything worked and it did. I came back out to my garage to look over it and now they don't, at a loss!

Any fuses open?
At any rate, time to grab your meter and FSM/wiring diagram and start tracing the 12 volt source for open circuits (if no fuses are blown). Double check your wiring at the tightest points...like where wires exit the bars. Also check any plug connectors you may have used to extend the wires.
If you can separate RS from LS controls that might speed things up.

Controls, or switches?

Tell us exactly what "now they don`t" means.

Good to hear you found the fuse open, BUT...better recheck the areas of concern including battery terminals and grounding block soz you don’t get stranded with a worse condition at the most inconvenient time.

In the future when doing work like this pull the main. I know not the manly thing to do but the right thing. look around see if you can see any cut or pinched wires. 07 is not to hard to do .
