Default 2002 XL883R - No head light, brake light, turn signal, or running lights.

I recently changed my battery so my bike could start again, and to my dismay, I found that upon turning the key to ignition, I had no lights on my bike, but my horn still works. Also, all of the indicator lights on my instrument panel are lit. Both turn signals are solid, hi beam light on (even though it’s on low beam), oil light on, and neutral light on. Not sure what happened. I don’t think I missed any wires when reconnecting the battery, and the bike starts fine. Checked all the fuses and they all seem OK. Made sure all the pigtail harnesses were tight as well. Any ideas or something obvious I may have overlooked?

For what it’s worth, I’m totally new at this, but I do have a service manual.

Your description indicates your TSM may be faulty? However, first use your manual and check for any DTC codes. Then I would check each turn signal bulb and outlet for any corrosion, loose wires. Likewise the headlamp bulb and socket. Go back and double check your battery connections and confirm they are tight. Check both ends of each cable. Also look for any loose wires in and around the battery compartment to be certain you didn't accidentally pull out a connection. Double check your fuses and confirm the circuit breaker has no corrosion and the fuse panel is tight.

Here are the wiring diagrams for your bike just in case you don't have them? https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson.com/sip/content/document/view?id=5528&parameters=highlight%3D2002+wiring+di agrams%26openProcedure%3Dd7871aa4-7caf-4b12-9f1b-62be8490b48d#7ba90a39-8dba-41ed-afc3-072c5c09a2c5!!1!1
