I installed chrome switch housing and now my turn signals, horn, and cruise switches won't work. What did I do wrong? Everything looks like the way it was before. Need help please. Thanks
Yup, 99% likely your problem is pinched wires between the housing and handlebar as the wires exit the housings. The insulation is very thin and it only takes a pinprick of a hole in the insulation to have the wire(s) short to the handlebar.
You can confirm the diagnosis by loosening the housings, making sure the wires aren't touching the handlebars or housings, and trying the switches.
So what's the best way to find out which wires are pinched. My security key light is also on. Would that be the same problem? It says in the manual that it has thrown a code.

In the back of the HD Service Manual for your bike is a wiring diagram showing the wire colors and functions of the handlebar switches. You know what functions aren't working, check the wires identified by color for those functions.
