Default e-ton 90r ectrical issues...aaaarrrrggg!

I bought my daughter an e-ton 90r for christmas 2 years ago. I pulled it out for the spring to find it does not have any juice. I bought a new battery, charged it, but only got the front led's to light up. I don't have a starter, horn, brake lights, or hud for the gears. I traced the wiring for loose connections, checked the battery for loose wiring, checked both fuses that I could find, and even kicked started it (old school style), which it ran, but no gear change. Anybody know what's wrong with this thing?Thanks in advance for ANY helpful info.

Where will I find those fuses? I found on next to the battery, and on next to the carb. Both are good. Which grounds do I check? The battery ground is good. Where else do I check? Also, should I have a dead gear display?

The fuses you said sound about at the right place so there good there should be a ground to the motor to the frame on maybe the ground that go to the motor form the battery need taking off and scuf with sand paper it sounds like a wire ant getting ground or power or something to me if you found the wire the dead gear disply should light up just trun the swtich on go out and start moving wires around see if u see light or anything than

I did find a motor ground on the left side behind the carb, are there anymore? Maybe a frame ground that I"m not finding? Or could it be the module malfuctioning?

Thanks Ethan, this is keeping me on my toes. I haven't worked on anything but a street bike back in the early 90"s. Even then' it was only carb work. nothing like they put out now lol... My wife calls me an old timer...

did you check the ignition wiring at the key? sometimes they'll come loose from vibrations.
