Default Changed the handlebars and now I have no blinkers or horn

I have a 2007 Electra Glide Classic and I don't know whatI did but now they don't work. I disconected the battery before I did anything and did not tamper with the controls when I removed them and reinstalled them. I have not had a chance to look into it but later on today I will check it out. Anyone know what it could be or where to start searching for the problem. I hope I don't have to take the faring apart again but I will if I have to.

Same thing happened to me on my RK. Also lost the brake light. It was a pinched wire.

Going to be a pinched or broken wire like AISTQM said.

Does it start? when I changed my bars I pulled radio to the front so I could get to the bolts and pulled that plug under the bar clamp loose without realizing it..few moments of panic till I noticed it.

Probably pinched the wiring on the Left handlebar underneath the clutch handle. Of course, you most likely have a blown 15 amp fuse now as well. Ask how I know

You guys are geniuses! That was what it was caught hell but it is up and going now. Seams like they would have made room for the wires to fit but I ground out a groove to run the wires through and now no cut wires. Thanks guys : )

Late model handlebars are supposed to have "dimples" in them for the wires. If yours does not have them they are early model ones.
