You could go to the fuse panel and check for an unused fuse. Run a "healthy" (through an in line fuse to the front and run everything with that. I did that on my Roadglide conversion. Most everything up there doesn't use much juice (gauge lamps, radio, etc.). I ran the wire to a terminal buss and used that as my power source.

Here is my suggestion (take it or not). Obviously you have a meter, make sure that the power source is on the wiper then disconnect the battery. Use the ohm meter part of your meter to find where the wafer outputs go (also making sure that the switch is good). Believe me electric stuff is not that difficult, it is a point to point thing. The main thing is to find out if your power goes where you THINK it goes. The switches may look the same but may not be, AND don't forget about the grounds (without a ground you can't complete the circuit). Trace the wires (using continuity and color) to where they go now and make sure that that's where you want them to go.
