    found the problem (I think) seems that the hacked wire job has the hot wire from the alt going to the headlight switch then the ign switch. seems the headlight switch is bad and since i have no lights (yet), am going to bypass headlight switch.

    Whoa!!!

    wire from battery to light switch is normal. It isn't the only way to connect it, but it is not 'wrong' or indicate that it is hacked up.

    On the back of the light switch is a circuit breaker in case there is a dead short in the lights.

    Your ign wire may run through the breaker or just use the breaker terminal as a junction point.
