Not sure about the 04, but my 08 is a low current key switch so I had to run it thought a relay to use it.
Here is the logic for the lights.

heres what i have, from what i have read i believe i am missing a ignition module that plug between the empty plugs i have shown. everything else i have tested looks fine and everything else powers up and works except the run and start buttons. if any sees anything else let me know. and what ignition module should i get?

When you push the Run button do you hear a small click from the Wire plus module under your seat?
Also, how's your battery check out? Voltage? Load test?
Always start at your battery and work from there. Your gonna have to break out a multi meter and start testing wires at some point I'm sure. Could be a number of things. But start with the battery, make sure everything is hooked up to it the correct way, and we can go from there.

as i said above i have when a checked everything that is hooked up and all is good. I am pretty sure i am missing something and pretty sure its the ignition module that plug into the two plug above. if someone could verify this for me i would appreciate it

Go to the right side of your motor, remove the cam sensor cover (cover held in place with two small allen screws) Verify the Ignition module that's under that cover. Does it have any names printed on it? Small switches? The original Thunder Heart ignition that came with the bike had a cam trigger plate under that cover and was just a plan looking machined aluminum sensor. Then it used an Ignition module under the seat (the part that's missing) and the dual fire coils under coil cover. If someone has updated that ignition with a single fir, Crane, or Daytona twin tec, ect...you will not need the Ignition module under the seat. The new ignition is all in one unit and under the cam sensor cover.
will do and ill get back and let you know what i find
heres what I have, thanks for the advice to look there.
I am not getting any power to the ignition or coil. when i press the run button the green light on the black box in the wire plus will only light up as long as i hold the button on. I did how ever jump power straight to the coil and it fired right up. is that green light suppose to stay lite when i press run?
