Update... Okay so since I am no electrical guru and couldn't figure out why the taillight and headlight plugs weren't getting power while the scooter was running, I just rigged it up to where the headlight and taillight are connected via a new wire I ran running to the battery and then to a switch I put on the dash. Now the only things I don't have are turn signals and my high beam.

My cousin was the person that wrecked it. I am going to take all of the body panels off and check the wires now

Could a bad regulator/rectifier cause all of the lights not to work? If I remember correct, as soon as it was crashed, none of the lights worked.

Okay new progress update... So the taillight/break light bulb was broken, so I replaced it, and now the BREAK LIGHT WORKS when I turn the key on. Thinking now could the rest of the electrical problems be the regulator/rectifier?

He said his dash lights are out too... While it could be the case that every single filament on every single bulb was damaged, I doubt it.... MY guess is that your lighting circuit(s) isn't getting charged... When the scoot took it's spill, either some wires were damaged, or a connector came loose is my guess... What is your exact scooter model, and year, I'll see if I have a wiring diagram and highlight the areas to check. The scooter is a 2004 United Motors X-Peed 50.

Here's what works: Horn, Starter, kill/start switch, and break lights (edited)
Here's what does not work: Headlight, High beam, taillight, Blinkers
So yes, the start and kill switch both work to answer your question. Where does the lighting circuit get its juice?

I only see one fuse by the battery, and that is for the starter, which works. Basically all of the lighting will not work. All of the lighting wires go into this black box, might be a CDI box (Not sure what it does). I'm not sure. Think that may be the problem? This is a Chinese scooter.

So somebody wrecked my scooter and now the electricals don't work (headlight, taillight, blinkers, fuel gauge, dash lights, etc.). What should be my starting point on fixing this problem? Thanks!

This scooter has sat for a couple years and I have replaced the gas that was sitting in it and spray the carb with some carb cleaner. It has trouble starting because its not getting enough gas. When gas does get to it and when it starts running, it the throttle is let off, it dies. There are two hoses, the fuel hose and the vacuum hose. Both are connected to the petcock which is connected to the fuel tank. To get gas, I suck on the vacuum hose, and it will start up. But oddly enough, gas will come through the vacuum hose. Is that supposed to happen?
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
