    Tail lights stopped working, and i traced the prob to ignition switch, so i removed top clamp and found this PO- improvised former fix.:Help:

    Had to unwrap tape on ignition switch wires to find this:

    Is that a crack in the steering head from the force used to chisel the lockplate ???? Maybe i need to find a welder ? :eek: Did the failed thief damage the wires too ?
