Default 04 400 4x4 auto electrical problems

Hello,

Been a while since I've been here (previously known as gutpile)

My 04 has some electrical issues. The ignition switch, on/off switch, 4x4/2x4 selector, lights (front and rear) have no power. I've looked the whole machine over for bad wires and the only problem I can find is the Diode Assembly that sets just above the Brake Junction block that is broken. I have a test light and it’s showing power to the MAIN fuse but no others. I can bridge the starter solenoid and the bike will turn over and crank if I want it to. The battery is fine. Could I have a problem with the CDI or Voltage regulator? Any help would be greatly appreciated

is your kill switch on. also pull your gas tank and check the wires for your key switch. sometimes the wires break by the steering post break.

I found a frayed red power wire that had possibly been chewed on by a mouse. I repaired and everything is good now.

thanks
