no power what so ever to key switch

I just had to replace the key switch on my 06 trx300ex due to it getting ripped off while being transported to go ride. So with no key I cut the wire and twisted the positive and negative together to get power. When i parked the bike I made sure the wires weren’t touching so it wouldn’t drain the battery. Well when I took the head light off to access the male and female plug I no longer get power. No head lights no nothing.I have a new battery and new key switch in the bike only way I get power is to connect it to a know good battery with jumper cables and then connecting the loose ground cable to the ground post on the quad battery and taking the positive cable and clamping it to both the positive and negative at the key switch then it will start but then the reverse light comes on while in neautral instead of the neautral light. And help would greatly be appreciated.

Once again new battery and new key switch.
