electrical problem with 2003 Chopper

Had a loose connector on the positive side of the battery. It arced causing the battery post to melt a bit. I replaced the battery and made sure to hook up all of the connectors. The bike starts fine now. :bang:pROBLEM: the turn signals, horn, and low beam don't work. They were all working before the battery problem. The high beam still works, but that's it. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

1. Check the winker switch mini-motherboard?
2. First check the connection at the bars for a cut wire harness.
3. Follow that to where it connects.
4. Turn key on, flip a winker either right or left.
5. Start moving the switches harness, connector, etc. to trigger the wink to come on.
6. Back to that switch, if the low works and the hi does not and the hi filament is good.
7. This is going to be off the wall, but, did you recently take a shower wit your BD?

This happened when the battery arced. It has not been in a shower. I called a local shop, he said it sounds like the small module that fits between the battery terminals.

Ready? And this terminal controls the lo/hi/wink? so this small module has no loop with the hi beam included? See what I'm saying the hi works?
 
If the stock EHC has been removed then I would think the Starter Module, the module between the battery terminals, should have gone with the BD EHC.
Is the upgrade a Wire Plus or has someone done some other type of upgrade?
