Default 1997 883 HUGGER SHUTS OFF LIGHTS AND ALL

I JUST bought a great bike and have ridden over 100 miles.&nbsp\\; All of the sudden, when I stopped at a stop sign-everything goes off.&nbsp\\; I turned the switch off, then back on and it started.&nbsp\\; This happened several times (scary too).&nbsp\\; We replaced all the air hoses (rotten) around the gas tank.&nbsp\\; Then I wiggled the wires going to the switch.&nbsp\\; It shut the lights off but the bike was not running.&nbsp\\; So my question is, how do you replace the ignition switch?&nbsp\\; I can't get the wires to pull through that sleeve the are in.&nbsp\\; HELP
