No power to reverse or hand warmers 07 M8

So I have pulled apart both the reverse switch and the hand warmer switch, and checked for power coming in off these harnesses and there is none. There is power to everything else. Also no power to the reverse servo or motor. Can anybody tell me what wire should be bringing power to the reverse and the handwarmer switch and where it originates??

here ya go..07/m8..some info but not all you need..

Testing Shift
Actuator Switch
(Crossfire/F-Series/M-Series)
��NOTE: The shift actuator switch is located on the
right-side handlebar control.
1. Disconnect the actuator two-wire connector from
the handlebar control.
2. Connect one ohmmeter lead to the black wire; then
connect the other ohmmeter lead to the white/violet
wire.
3. With the reverse button pressed in, the meter must
read less than 1 ohm of resistance. With the
reverse button released, the meter must read OL
(open).
��NOTE: If the meter does not read as specified in
either test, the switch is defective and must be
replaced.
Testing Shift Actuator
(Crossfire/F-Series/M-Series)
��NOTE: The actuator is located on the gear case
above the left-side footrest.
1. Disconnect the actuator two-wire connector; then
connect Actuator Test Harness (p/n 0644-518)
onto the harness side of the connector.
2. Connect one meter lead to the violet/black lead of
the test harness; then connect the other meter lead
to the black wire lead of the test harness.
3. Secure the belt guard into position; then start the
engine.
4. Press the reverse button; there should be a flash of
DC battery voltage indicated on the meter. Release
the reverse button; then again press the reverse
button; there should be a flash of DC battery voltage
indicated on the meter.
��NOTE: If the meter indicates a flash of voltage
but the actuator does not function, the actuator is
defective and must be replaced.
��NOTE: If the meter does not indicate a flash of
voltage, troubleshoot the main harness.
! CAUTION
Do not run the engine without the belt guard secured
in place.

Testing Handlebar
Warmer Elements
(EFI Models/Panther 570)
NOTE: To access the element connectors, the
handlebar control assembly for the side being
tested must be removed.
NOTE: During this test, resistance will vary due
to temperature; therefore, this test should be made
at room temperature of 20° C (68° F).
1. Remove the handlebar pad (if applicable); then
disconnect the handlebar warmer three-wire
connector.
2. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter
lead to the green/white lead; then connect the other
ohmmeter lead to the green lead.
3. The meter must read between 6.3-7.7 ohms.
4. In the element connector, connect the ohmmeter
between the green/blue and green lead wires.
5. The meter must read between 12.6 and 15.4 ohms.
6. Replace any element measuring less than or more
than the specified amount.
NOTE: Repeat test for the other element.
7. Connect the leads; then install the handlebar control
assembly and secure the handlebar pad (if
applicable


Testing Thumb
Warmer Element
(EFI Models/Panther 570)
NOTE: During this test, resistance will vary due
to temperature; therefore this test should be made
at room temperature of 20° C (68° F).
1. Remove the handlebar pad (if applicable); then
disconnect the thumb warmer three-wire connector.
2. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter
lead to the green/white lead; then connect the other
ohmmeter lead to the green lead.
3. The meter must read between 1.5 and 6.9 ohms.
4. In the element connector, connect one ohmmeter
lead to the green/blue lead; then connect the other
ohmmeter lead to the green lead.
5. The meter must read between 5.5 and 23.0 ohms.
NOTE: If either test is not within specification,
replace the thumb warmer element.
6. Connect the leads; then install and secure the handlebar
pad (if applicable).

Simple test check handle bar ground wire located infront of fuel tank! Right side or Mag side next to steering loop bolts on tunnel! Tank might have to be moved. Also check wires to reverse alarm corrosion in plug is common!
