Default Fuel pump no power after battery replacement

Hey guys,
Need advice again....replaced my battery on my '09 Ultra last night....after replacing everything, turned on ignition and everything turned on - so I thought. After cleaning everything before riding this morning, I jumped on ready to ride, turned on ignition and noticed I didn't hear the fuel pump come on...after checking fuses under seat, no problems found. Took off fuse block cover, checked fuel pump fuse (fuse not blow and switched with another to check) and no power into fuse block....everthing else seems to work fine.

Help!!

One thing you could do is with the bike powered up ready to start, wiggle wires and connectors in and around battery compartment working your way towards fuse block. Then from under the console were the plug for the fuel pump is work back to fuse back. It's only four wires going to fuel pump with one being a ground. Hopefully all you did was bump a ground somewhere and loosened it.

P.S. do all lights and horn work?

Check the ECM fuse. The ECM is what sends a signal to the fuel-pump to turn on.
