Default Switch problem after ape install

Just did ape install on FLHTK. Did test of all switches. Now after zip ties installed, right turn signal turns on fuel pump and run switch turns on right turn signal. Did I pull a wire loose from the connector. The connector did not seem to lock together and snap on install.

You got two of the wires swapped. Figure out which ones go to the run switch and the right turn signal, swap their positions inside the connector and you should be good to go.

Found problem crossed w/blk & w/bn pins in connector. Must have only thought I checked function before tying up wires. I sure sucks repining connectors in fairing. I will triple check next time.
