Of course you had visions of sitting on your pretty new bike & hitting the GO Button & the Angels in Heaven all singing & the bike starting right up..
Welcome to reality..
Youve been all over it, messing with everything there is, odds of it NOT having a problem or 2 are slim. This is normal., youve gotten to here, youll win itl. Its time to Get methodical & learn some patience. Its all part of growing up. Anyone can just get older.

I know youve readily admitted your lack of ability in the electrical department. I totally understand. I dont like messing with that styuff either & Im far from a pro at it. Ive seen guys I swear they could see the juice flowin in the wires & knew right where the problem was.. Thats not me, but, the only way to win is, either have a good memory & not get confused or use a notebook, start checking for power in places you know its supposed to be, Check grounds, I like the notebook so that if I dont win quick I can walk away & come back & not have to start over.

The AF taught the 1/2 split troubleshooting method. Check signal at source, check signal where its supposed to be. If its not there, go 1/2 way back to source & check. If its not there, go back another 1/2 way, if it is, go forward 1/2 way, check, It'll hunt down pretty quick that way,
A test lite & an ohm meter & a notebook & wiring diagram & youll win,.
