No lights, tach etc

O.K guys. I did some more testing. TJ500 told me to try and jumper the red brown wires together with the relay installed and the sled running. It did nothing. I still have no tach, lights or heat grips . If I jumper the red and blue wire everything is working but I can not use the electric start then because the light stays on when the battery is connected. Anybody know TJ500 here on the site. I would like to get his phone number if anyone has it. Email tag takes to long.
 
Problem fixed for the short term . TJ500 helped me pin it down that it was the brown/white wire connection in the CDI that was bad. Not the wire itself but inside the CDI. Disconnected the wire and ran a new wire from the relay to chassis ground. Now the electric start , lights, tach and grip warmers all work. Only draw back is the sled has to be shut down with the key or the battery will still power the head light. Kill switch still works as normal. If I had no electric start then it could be shut off either way. Just need to keep a look out for a good CDI in the future. I got to know the wiring system quite intimately on this girl over the last year. Now the wife should be happy she has e-start .

Thanks TJ500 and other members who helped out with suggestions. Got it working without costing a pile at the dealership.
