Put a new fuse where it's labeled ECM. Disconnect the relay or wire for your run and brake light. Put it in stock mode.

I was just rereading your post. Your red light is a hard code which I had in mine.
Your mileage is coming on or not?
If I'm right your code would be an overload, which would be a bad connection or ground. So since harley just put the new amp, they may have wired it wrong causing an overload or something. Disconnect the fuse to the amp or the amp wire going to the battery. Then change the ECM fuse.

I think the mileage comes on. I will have to verify tomorrow. The gauges come on.
