I just installed 10" twin peaks on my '14 Street Glide and the bike wont start. The radio will turn on and the bike makes the normal high pitch noise like it's getting ready to start, but I don't have anything going on in any of the gauges. The voltage meter and gas gauge doesn't move and the engine start light doesn't turn on. I did disassemble and reassemble the TBW connector and it is done correctly. None of the wires seem to be loose. I'm hoping someone can help me narrow down the problem.
Help! Bike won't start after handlebar install

IF you are certain the TBW pins are correct... make sure they are seated properly and do not pull out from the molex connector. Ensure your hand control connections are correct in where they go and not swapped left to right and vice-versa. Also... check the small connections under the switch housings and make sure they are fully seated... they have a tendency to work loose during the install. One last thing, make sure you have NO pinched wires under the switch covers and going into the bars.
Agree with Spazz. Had a similar issue when I did my install. I switched to the CVO TBW harness but I did not have the pins seated correctly in the connector. The bike started but I had nothing. No throttle, engine light on, etc. Turns out some of the pins in the connector were not fully seated. Make sure you hear/feel them click in. It's a little tricky but you'll get it. Good Luck...
It turned out to be a blown fuse. I got ahead of myself when I started this project and forgot to disconnect the battery before I started messing with the wiring. Oops... Replaced the fuse and she started right up. I've only got to ride about 30 miles since changing the bars, but everything seems good. Thanks guys.
