Double check your battery wires make sure you got all of them back on. From the picture it looks like you have a 04 Big Dog.
Stock EHC. When you turn on the key you should get the power on light, then when you hit the run button it should give power to your ignition. Then the start button.2004 Modles EHC Info..jpg

Also when your motors is turning over the red light on the Thunder Heart should flash on and off. This is the gray unit above your EHC to the left. Maybe the hot or ground to it not connected to the battery?

Your Thunder Heart is your ignition module. Was every thing working great before the new battery?

It was fine when I put it away last year. It must be that Thunderheart ignition because the ingnition fault light can on the EHC.

The red light should flash every time your cam sensor spins. If no light I would check the wire coming from it.

The third fault light is the ignition. And since I do not have a light on that thunder fart ignition I'm going to have to say it's that. What else could it be since I have everything else that works

Hi Mike,
If your bike was running before you replaced the battery it is of course likely you caused the problem. The 12.8 VDC would indicate the battery is good but it can't hurt to have it load tested. That being said, I would disconnect all the wires from the battery and verify they are healthy and also that you didn't leave one off by mistake and it's hiding on you. Special attention to the grounds.The fault light on your EHC would be indicating a Short, Open or Over-current.
Continue to troubleshoot with Rottweiler until you narrow it down. As you can see from the Wire Diagram he sent you there are lots of connections/components involved.
