I installed my rear air ride but they worked since then. I've chased all weeks and no Knicks or cuts. What info toy need. I explained the issues and what I've checked...

Sorry not trying to upset you. How did you hook up air ride? Only reason I ask simple questions is because sometimes we make things harder than they are by skipping simple stuff. If you wired with plugs and not splicing can you disconnect it and then try?

When you say you checked the wires, you went through the entire bike and entire length of all the wires? The tend to get rubbed up under the rear fender, and inside the fairing. Sometimes they get pinched by the steering head. Does your year and model maybe have a relay for the running lights? My 11 service manual shows one, but I don't know what year and model you're troubleshooting.
Before you bite my head off, I'm on mobile site, it doesn't show signatures if you have your year and model info there.

Edit: I dug through the schematic more. Power is fed from your ignition switch on the red w/blk striped wire to the P&A IGN, INSTRUMENT, AND IGNITION fuses, as well as the lighting relay. It also feeds power on the red w/gry striped wire to the brake fuse. From the brake fuse it goes to the brake light relay. It could be your ignition switch is bad, but the bike wouldn't run if that was the case. I couldn't see you blowing the lighting relay and the brake light relay both, but you never know. Maybe you lost a ground connection that affects both. Double check all your ground connections to the frame.

Ok. Like I said, my 2011 touring service manual shows a lighting relay. Unfortunately, it's the only relay of its type in your fuse box so you can't swap it with any of the others. You can put your finger on it, and as you turn the ignition feel for it to click on. I can feel mine when I turn the ignition on and hear it. That may be your culprit. As also stated, get a multimeter and test for voltage at the electrical plugs or sockets. Does your headlight work?
