Kick his ass number one.

Did he leave them hooked up? If so, check battery voltage. He may have completely drained it somehow.

So your new taillight is off and your old taillight is back on? Check your battery with a voltmeter. It sounds like your buddy did a lot more than hook something up wrong in just the taillight wiring.

He tells me he had the key on when he was doing it, he hooked up on wire and the left tirn signal flashed, he thinks he might have crossed the wires, he sees a small arc and the power went out... I tryed to push start it but it still wont start.. I dont know if it is because the fuel pump needs power to operate on what? I am at a lose. is there another fuse or breaker type thing that I dont know about?

T Rock man I want to kick his ass bad.. believe me... I was going on a charity ride on saturday, but i dont know now..

remove the light altogether, make sure all connections exposed are taped up and try to jump start it.

All I can think of is fuses, unless somewhere a 12 volt wire got too hot and melted the coating and is now shorting the whole bike out. Even with low voltage on the battery there would still be headlights.

Probably shorted the battery and left it that way and killed the battery.
