Wiring problem

[Flash987]

I removed the sub frame along with the rear fender to repaint, clean etc. All was going just fine on reassembly with no missing or extra parts. All was good until I tried to start the bike, the FI light stayed on, which I know means trouble. I checked all the connections and moved the fuse block, relays, wiring harness ,etc around, tired again, the FI light went off after I turned the key on like normal and it started. Thought that fixed it, but after I went back and finished tucking in the wires blocks etc and was ready to put the seat and rear cowling back on I tried to start the bike again and son-of-a-bitch the damn FI light stayed on the engine wouldn't start. Everything looks good and all the electrical components work including the engine turning over. When I turn the key on I can hear that none of the relays are getting juice and I imagine that is why the FI light stays on and it won't start.

Any ideas where to look for the source of the problem. Maybe I pulled a wire loose or shorted out something.

Previously the BB had no problems and it ran great.

Check the connection at the fuel pump and work back if you don't hear the fuel pump kick in. Other wise check all the connections you had unplugged or maybe pulled loose.

Thanks, I'll start there.

I general, what does it mean when the FI light stays on after the ignition is turned to the run position?

Maybe try turning key on and moving different wire connectors, relays, wireing. The pump should kick on when you hit the sweet spot. Then go from there.

I learned which one of those relays under the seat and next to the battery is the tip-over switch. The one with the word "UP" on it. After f***'n around with the wiring and checking all the connections I noticed the arrow and the UP word on the tip-over switch and realized I had it in upside down. Arrrgggg, I'm and idiot. Well at least I learned more about the BB.
