I put in a new battery from battery plus and now the bike with not start, as soon as I turn the key on the horn go on and will not stop . Are there any trouble codes I should look for. I will appreciate any help or advice.

X2, make sure you didn't miss any wires. Sometimes they fall down the side cover and you cant see them...

Load test your battery from Battery Plus. What battery did you get and how many cca does it have? You'll be surprised but it is very likely not up to snuff.

No it was from a store called battery plus they are specialist in battery lol sold me a bad battery and did not want to take it back .. the one that was in the bike was a interstate pwc battery. It lasted 3 years . So now I dont know what battery to get.

So I got a new battery from harley. Bike started right up, then the next day same thing tried to start the bike . And the horn stayed on and the bike would not start. I played around for a few hours and the bike would start . Next thing you know horn would stay on and no start. Should I get a new ehc. Or I am think of redoing the hole bike to take harley switches and do a thunder heart. Ehc what do you guys thing

Mine was acting very similar... turn the key on and no lights at all then after about 5 seconds the horn started blowing none stop and the right front turn signal was flashing. Took it to the shop and they told me the battery didn't have enough voltage so they charged it and it was fine.
They also told me that these bikes require a min.of 12.6 volts to operate the module????
not sure about the voltage but so far so good after they charged it. Im sure it being sub zero freezing here still doesn't help the batery !!!!!

As Dennis said check the volts when bike is running, put battery on a tender to charge it up. Should be 14.4-14.6v when runningCheck your charging system...

Or you got something draining the battery as the bike sits.
