Mine has failed me twice the first time it was burnt from over heating the second it lost conductivity momentarily.
I soldered and heat shrunk it this last time.

Actually the white wire comes from the right housing Kill Switch.
The Grey wire goes to the housing from the keyswitch...Stock.
Just to clarify.

If it is aftermarket? Probably...if O.E. only maybe. Most common is pinched wire when assembling the [handlebar] switch housing sometimes shorting to ground, sometimes cutting the wire inside the Insulation.
Some care, and some bit of Dexterity are required...along with Patience....
