Default FP3 Installation issues.

I installed my FP3 today (66007 part number). I'm not 100% sure it's in the right spot. Also when I connect to it it can't get a connection to the ecm/vin(which is why I think it might be in the wrong spot). Anyone else have these issues? This is what it looks like in the left side. Let me know if I've got it wrong.

Looks like your on the right plugin. It shows your getting part way in, I don't know why your getting the error. Did your fp3 do a update before you tried to connect?

Yes it did. It updated itself the first chance it got. Do you think that has something to do with it?

Ok. So. Update. I'm an idiot. I didn't have the kill switch on on the handlebars and that's what caused the issue. The bike has been mapped and is on that charger. Thanks for the help.
