Strange electrical problem

[Tartan Terror]

I just got my bike all back together after I had it all torn down for paint. That means total disassembly of the fairing as well. While it was apart I upgraded the stator and gutted the cassette player to make a storage compartment. All went well or so I thought. I installed the battery and as soon as I connected the negative cable the light on the radio went on but showed no info on the face. It would not go back off until I disconnected the battery. I havent taken the fairing back off yet as I had a few other issues to tend to first but I want to know if this has happened to anyone else and Ideas of what to look for. I dont have the player anymore so putting it back in is not an option.

I wonder if there might be some sort of reset procedure for the control unit? Could it have been on cassette setting when it was last activated?

Double check all the round audio connectors in the fairing and under the seat to be sure you haven't crossed any.

Buddy you hit it right on the head. It seems that the two connectors that come off the cassette are the same. I had one of the round connectors pluged into the wrong one. I thought I had them all right as all but one is color coded but it seens that two will fit in one case. Everything is great now. The new speakers sound great, the engine runs great after rejetting and adjusting the mixture, I moved the Aux power bus so that the battery sits all the way down. What Im saying is that Im running tomorrow!!! Whooo Hoooo!!! That is if the rain stays away!!!!
