Default 95 fatboy electrical issues

Im having an issue where when i turn the ignition switch to ignition the bike runs great but when i turn it to lights it dies and none of the lights work. I have changed the switch thinking there was a short in it but it didnt solve the problem. Anybody habe any idea what it might be? Is there a fuse or a relay hidden somewhere that i dont know about? Thanks in advance.

Nothing wrong...

You are simply missing a short piece of wire.

In order for the circuit to get power there needs to be a short jumper between pins 1 and 3 on the switch.

Pins 1,2,3 are on the right side of the switch, going clockwise.
