I think you can get a wiring diagram from the internet. or you can use a ohms meter and volt meter to help check the wires out to see where the go or come from, always use the colors of the wires to help check they are coming from or where they are going to. You really need to find a friend with some knowledge to help you. just remember that you have to a 12 volt line coming in, 12 volt going out #1 to starter #2 to the ignition coil #3 the fuel pump. If you get that right if will at least run. use the color codes to trace to each thing you want to use. GOOD LUCK Jerry
HOW CAN THE WIRE BEEN CUT,
DO YOU HAVE TILT WHEEL, REMOVE STEERING COVER OD THE IGNITION STEERING AREA, LOOK AT THE WIRES, DO THEY LOOK LIKE SOME ONE CUT THEM OR THEY CHANGE COLORS DO TO A ALARM SYSTEM, IF THEY CHANGE COLOR, COULD BE THE AFTER MARKET ALARM RELAY THAT WONT ALLOWED YOU TO START, IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WERE IT IS, IS OK, OPEN THE CONNECTION AND REMOVE THE WIRE COMING FROM ALARM TO IGNITION SWITCH WIRE, FIND THE OTHER END OF THE IGNITION WIRE THAT WAS CUT OUT , SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER WIRE ALSO FROM THE ALARM, AND RECONNECT BOTH IDENTICAL COLOR WIRE TOGETHER AND IT WELL START, UNLESS YOU HAVE A SECURITY LIGHT ON THE DASH, CHECK THIS OUT FIRST., PROGRAMING MAY BE NEED IT OR OTHER PROBLEMS ARE THERE.
you've lost power to your rear wire harness.
use a test light.
1.check test light at battery first to make sure the test light works(test).
2.remove seat and find each wire going to the rear section of the bike.
it should be a plug in type connector, I believe its a 5 wire connector.
3.unplugg this connection and test the side coming from the front of the bike. to test it, turn ignition on. hold tester to one wire at a time. When test light comes on, that
is your power wire. note the color.
this power wire is for your tail/tag/and or any running lights
turn left blinker on, then hold tester to other wires to see which one blinks. note the color.
turn right blinker on, then hold the tester to wires to see which one blinks.note the color.
step on brake pedal, then hold the tester to wires to see which one comes on and stays
on until you release the brake. this is your brake light wire only and comes from a brake
pressure switch.
the brake switch should have constant power to one side always. when you apply the brakes
the pressure in the switch make contact to other side of switch which sends power to your
brake light. note the color
the wires running under the fender make be broken from scrubbng the tire.
fix the wires or replace them.
4. if you had no power at all, then check your battery is fully charged
5. if no power with a good battery, check fuses.
6. if no power with a good battery and good fuses, then you'll have to trace the wires in the wire
harness to find where the break is.
7. to test any ground wires, simply reverse the connection on the test light.
hook the clamp to the positive side of the battery.
Now test any ground, by touching the tester to it, even the engine and frame should be
grounded and make the test light come on.
As a mechanic, i know time is important, and this test will only take approx and hour or less to perform.
i am color blind and i have to test every wire all the time to make sure i know which wire is which.
once i find it i label it.
works for me everytime.
takes longer to find it then to fix it.
Hope to be helpful.

Sorry friend, this is as far as i can go to tel you how to hot wire the ignition. But with the color codes you should be able to figure it out, Good luck and keep me posted.
You need to check for power coming out of the turn signal switch with a test light, or voltmeter. On older Chevys, the R/F turn signal wire is dark blue. Check the color of your wire at the bulb socket, then locate the turn signal switch connector, and probe that color wire with the ignition switch on, and turn signal switch in the right position. If you have power coming out of the T/S switch, you have bad connection, or open circuit between it and the bulb socket.
The issue with the Day/Night auto color switching has to do with you light switch wheel. It might be set to the highest setting cuasing the colors not to swicth when your lights come on. Roll the wheel down until it clicks ro gets past a notch. Then when you turn your lights on the auto mode should work.
