Three wire in plastic housing. Check fuses with volt meter with those two pins in top. Be sure both have voltage to ground. Or pull and ohm check fuse.

Bike ran fine,
had 3 broken wires under the tank
What made you lift the tank?
Did it not start then you started looking and found the broken wires?
Check the last things you touched.
How could the bike run fine, then all of a sudden you have 3 broken wires?
