Vzi-tec SupaBrake3

I purchased a Vzi-tec SupaBrake3 and installed it on my 2015 Rt1200. The unit worked as it should until I tried to include the TopCase. When I attached the white wire to the proper connection on the top case it functioned properly with the tail lights and top case light modulating until I started the bike. Once the bike was running in a few seconds all the rear lights on the bike and top case completely stopped working. I carefully reviewed the instructions to assure my installation was correct. I contacted Bernard at Viz-tec several times and he was helpful but I still had the same result. Bernard sent a new SupaBrake3 module which I installed with the same result. While I don't know if it is important the top case in the older version. All the lights on the bike including the top case worked properly until I installed the SupraBrake3. I verified I was had attached the white wire to the proper top case wire buy using a volt meter to verify it was the top case brake wire.

Has anyone had a similar problem and come up with a solution?

Could this bea CanBus thing - overloading the circuit’s capacity?
 
There could be a “reverse” polarity issue if this system uses LED lights.
