No Lights At All!
Alright men, eat your heart out! I am a girl that rides and works on her own bike. That being said, here's the deal:
I stopped to top off my fuel and turned off the fuel cut-off switch.
When I turned everything back on, the fuel pump would not engage.
I have checked ALL (even the 3-prong one) fuses under the seat, I have charged the battery to 100%, I have changed the fuel cut-off relay (I hear clicking now, which lets me know it's getting power), and I have checked to make sure my wiring harness (under the fuel tank) with the green ground wire is grounded securely to the frame. I made sure the negative side of my battery was disconnected each time I did anything, so as not to blow a fuse in the process. When I connect the battery (securely), the F1 light does not blink to let me know there is a problem. I'm assuming the problem is in the wiring. I have the service manual all printed and in a nice green binder.
Problem: NONE OF MY LIGHTS ARE COMING ON and my fuel pump is still not engaging. What is my next step?

Well, the fuel pump and headlight are on the same plug up front. it may have come loose. Its the fat white connector, there are two of them. One is for the turn signals and left side controls and the other is for the headlights and fuel pump and stuff. It should be located on the left side somwhere around the ram air tubes.

Ok, so I did exactly what you guys told me and yes and no is the answer. Yes, the wires were fried in the white connector, BUT that's not all. There are wires fried in the main harness as well. If I move a certain wire, the fuel pump kicks on. I did get to hear my baby, so I felt good about what I did, but I will be taking it to a shop to have the whole harness replaced, as I don't want to mess up anything and blow out other things! Now, where can I get a reasonably priced harness?! LOL!
