Default 04 polaris predator 500 start/charging issues

04 predator. Not charging and dies when I turn lights on . Had a couple wires in bad shape. So cleaned up all ground connects. Fixed any crappy connections. Changed both 20a fuses . . First problem started at the on/off. Start. Hi/lo switch replaced it with new oem. Can start it by crossing soloniod. No power to start switch and dies when lights turn on.

Yes it clicks when I test it it was the same as the one I took off had to change the pig tail. I have power going to it I can get it started with booster pack and jumping the soloniod. But if I hit the lights it dies..

I put new stator and rectifier and a new cdi box. But coming off the rectifier there's two plugs one with 3 yellow to the stator. But pre owned and last Owner chopped plug off that the 2 red and the 2 black go to is there any spot 2 splice them into

The black and red can go right to the battery if you can't find where they go on the harness . red - positive , black - negative
