Davidson Turn Signal

Electrical problem on Harley Davidson FXSTC?
I have a 91 Harley Softail Custom….me and my buddy changed the rear tail light and rear turn signal bulbs, and doing so we had to sodder some wire together for the Right turn signal. Well my Left turn signal went out a few weeks later. Then my bro noticed my tail light wasn’t working the other day….and on my way home from his place I was haulin’ a$$ down the highway and when I hit my brights it killed my headlight completely..scaring the shit outta me, When i turned my brights off..my headlight comes back on…And when I slow down my headlight dims. But my turn signals in front stay bright and work great. Don’t think its the battery…..wats up?
This is one of those times that you should just start over. Get a wiring diagram from a manual and see what you connected to and what all the affected circuits have in common (if anything). Then you can start to trace where you’re having the short circuit. Also, be sure you are shrink wrapping any splices. I recently saw a “how to” article that said wires should be soldiered, then a crimp-on wire splice should be slid over and put on. too. The whole thing then needs one or two layers of shrink wrap. I don’t know if that’s overkill, but I may try it the next time I need to add an accessory or fix something.
Just take your time. Electrical can be frustrating, but if you are methodical, you will figure it out.
