1980 gs550e power to ignition switch but no lights on instruments or lights.

Bike was working fine. I replaced stock rear indicator lights. Had a brief no power to light issue but it went away. I moved run and horn switch closer to grips. Now when I turn key I get no power to start relay when pressing start button, no instrument lights or any lights. Bike will start by jumping start relay. Checked run button and it is good.

Can anyone give me a hint as to where to start? What may cause this? I am pretty sure it isn't the start switch but am replacing that tomorrow.

I'd Check fuses and fuse connections first. No doubt power is going some places but not to others, seems one fuse may be problem. Make a little jump wire to touch the spring clip on both sides of each fuse, with key on jump the fuse between the spring clips on each end of each fuse, watching for the inst. lights to come on. Have seen a few fuses that looked good but weren't.
