I could at best theorize that you damaged one in the process of removal- i.e. A pin came out and is lodged in the harness- now missing that pin on one and having a bad contact on the other is causing a problem- it's a theory 😬

In other words- you broke something taking one out and that is impacting the install of the other- something that is common between the 2... 

Or you had both energized without battery disconnected when you took both out?!?  Without looking at it I just can't tell....

Hoping it turns out to be something simple!!!
