My guess is that the problem is in the start switch (kill switch). You can carefully disassemble the switch and clean the contacts.
Welcome to the site. I'm sure others will have more advice on how to properly inspect and clean the contacts, or offer additional information. |

it is possible that there is a bad connection in the headlight circuit
did you check the headlight fuse after that?

fuse should be the #6 fuse from the left with you have the fusebox with the accessory terminals
if you can jumper the fan and it works with the key on its not in the ignition switch next thing is to check the power after it goes thru the start switch,pm me your email address and i;ll send you the schematic and pics on where to follow that,but it might just be easier to pull the headlight back off and see if your getting power to the headlight plug then you can backtrace from there if its not
