Default Electrical Problem

Don't really know where to start checking for this problem so I figured I'd let you guys in on it and see if you have any input/way of tackling it. I rode for a few hours and just before going in for the day I noticed that the pod light shut off as well as the light on the speedo. The indicator light for neutral wasn't on either. Also the AWD light went off as well as not having AWD. I have the 3 light mod installed and it worked with no probs until now. Anyway, I took it home, opened the pod up and looked for any disconnections. I didn't see anything that looked like a problem. So here's where I stand. Everything works fine until I put on any lights, low beam or hi. In low beam the lights still come on but no AWD and no light for the speedo or N indicator light. In high beam the pod light doesn't come on, low beams are on, but no AWD and speedo or the indicator light. Hope this makes sense...The fact that it's turning the AWD light off and the speedo makes me think it's one of the plugs but I'm not sure what/how to check it. It will fix itself and work when I move the looms around, but as soon as I turn the handle bars it shut off, comes back on randomly. Obviously there's some kind of weak/loose connection somewhere but I've moved each loom around and can't really figure out what is the problem. It's hard to single any one out. All I know is that something is really sensitive and barely making a connection. Any help would be great.

sounds to me like you have a wire that has rubbed thru the insulation creating a short and when you move the wires around then it moved it away until you do what you describe iwth the handlebars. look over the wires on the bike with extreme scrutiny
