Default 2016 V Rod Muscle

I put a smart security alarm on, and it does not work. The bike starts fine. Turn signals work. It doesn't chirp or flash lights. It's like it was before I put the system on. Anyone have any suggestion ?

Not entirely sure if it’s simply plug and play. I know the siren is, but the base security system ties into the PCM. Maybe it needs to be “activated” by the dealer?

I bought my ‘14 Muscle with security. Not sure if the bike had it factory or if the dealer installed it before I took delivery. I added the siren afterwards.

I had a problem with the dealer, I bought the bike new. After they messed with it it ran like crap. I put a thundermax auto tuner in it and it ran great. It replaces the ecm on the bike. That might be the problem
