Why won't my console display and display lights turn on after reconnecting electrical connectors on my 2005 VTX 1300?

The headlights and running lights turn on. Turn signals work. Have not tried to start it. Connectors are in correctly and pushed all the way in. The LCD display, illuminator light and signal/highbeam and neutral indicator lights will not turn on. They worked fine before removing the tank to check radiator fluid level. No other work was done on the bike. Don't know if the speedometer works. Assuming it does not since its electrical.

Remove the tank again and check that you didn't pinch wires when the tank was installed.

SOURCE: 92 FXR bike will not start or even turn over

that clicking sound is the starter solenoid. check all large cables for corrosion and tightness. as for the signal lights, neutral and horn, i think a wire is grounding , thus causing the problem with the bike not starting also. check at ignition switch and at handle controls for a loose wire that may be touching the handlebar. basically inspect all the wiring on the bike

SOURCE: lights, turn signals, horn don't work

Look for a bad ground connection inside the headlight shell (or possibly elsewhere). The other thing that all of the items you mention that are working intermittently have in common is the ignition switch. With the switch 'on', check for battery voltage at the fuses for the headlight, turn signals, horn, etc. No voltage at the fuses likely means a bad ignition switch.

Testimonial: "quick response to my posted problem. don't know yet if that's the problem, but i've got a good place to start looking. thanks for the help."

SOURCE: 2005 Honda Goldwing- Electrical issue. Bright

sounds like a wire has been added the wrong way or wires have damage, switch could be the culprit. Does the kill switch work? I would be checking all wires and the conectors for heat damage (melting).And fuses for all circuts. if low beam is used does key work to stop engine?

You have obviously unplugged something... check inside the headlight,, a lot of connections in there!! Double check the instrument cluster and under the tank.

My honda vtx 1300 was just running went back out and turned key on and have no head light but all other lights and horn works nothing happens when i hit the start button

Sounds like a fuse let go!
Get an ohm meter and check your fuses. They should read 0 ohms (or whatever the meter reads when the leads are touched together)
Remember to pull the fuses first before testing them.
I'd check all the fuses while you're there.

If that doesn't show anything wrong, then check the ignition switch itself. Turn it on and off and wiggle it a bit. If the headlight flickers, there's something wrong in the switch, and you'll probably need to pull and clean or possibly replace it.

No power to headlight or driving lights

does high beam work? if it does then you are getting power and the low beam filament is burnt out. if the high beam doesnt work either, then check for voltage in the light socket in high beam mode, if no voltage then you must check the wiring harness for broken, bent, corroded, or pushed back pins.
