Help! I need an Expert.
I have a 2012 Street Glide. I wired up some LED's to the acc. plug under the seat. Was gonna put a pigtail on battery for a float charger, so I took the terminals off. I noticed that I already had a pigtail on it (damn, they hid it well) so I put the terminals back on, turned the key on and....wait for it...NOTHING!! No dash lights, nothing. Checked every fuse in fuse box, all is good. The fairing is off, and there is 12v to the key on hot wire on the acc. plug. Is there a fusible link somewhere I'm not seeing?
Thanks, In advance

it's been said 4,637,492 times... but it always bears repeating. Get a shop manual for your bike. And a parts manual to. you'll have a hundred bucks in the 2 if ya buy em new from the dealer, but they're worth a thousand if you're gonna work on your bike. get one. right now. why are you still here?

Sure you have LED's correct. Undo the attachment and replace the 15 amp ACC fuse and try. (should be spare in fuse box) Know my old bike has an black acc lead and also a gray plug for maintenance that is similar but should have a cap on it. Not sure what the new modern maintenance plug looks like

If you connected the LED through the Acc plug then the worst these can do is blow the 15A acc fuse which does not give you the symptoms you are experiencing.
As stated above, if you have checked all the standard blade fuses then go to the maxi fuse. If that is blown I am surprised you didn't see some sparks when you were working with the battery as it is a hefty fuse.
From what you describe I have a sneaking suspicion you had the ignition switch on whilst pulling the battery

+1. Exactly right, this is always my method any time I work myself into a trick bag (happens more often these days). Back out, get back to zero, then start again. You'll figger it out.
