Default mini apes install now electrical issues

So everything was pretty straight forward for being my first time. I installed 10" yaffe classic bagger bars on my 07 SG. Used heat shrink and have checked and double checked pin placement. There were two pins that broke on left side wiring (solid blue and orange /white tracer. I crudely attempted to jump the harness and connect them individually outside the harness. Im not getting brake lights go on when I tap on lever or foot brake. (Sounds like right side issue I know). But left side turn signal isn't working.

Checked fuses and they're good.

My test light took a dump so I can't even use that to check right now. I'll replace it but where can I assume the issue is? The broken pins?

Update: I fixed the turn signal issue. I am no longer having issues on left side. But still having issues applying brake lever and foot brake to get brake lights on.

edit: actually now that I look at it, it seems its stuck on.


I think it might be the brake light switch.

Probably broke the plastic shaft on the brake switch located in the right side clam shell.
