Default 6th Gear Indicator & Cruise Control

Just yesterday my 6th gear indicator and cruise started going on at off at same time. From what I read it's the clutch switch in the handlebar housing. It starts in gear with clutch in but it trys to lunge forward but doesn't actually move. I was just looking for confirmation before I tore into it. Also can I short out the switch to get cruise and 6th indicator back working? I assume then my bike could possibly start in gear. I was a little confused cause my radio display was also off and on but not same time as 6th indicator and cruise. I had just had Iron Cross rebuild my radio over winter so I thought I was done with radio issues. Guess not. Display would go out but the clock did not go back to 12:00 so I assume it wasn't losing power. Also the AUX Jack sounds horrible. Tried multiple cords and IPods and was muffled and low volume. Thank you for your help! Bryan.

Often times when there's numerous electrical issues, you have a ground problem. I'd start with your heavy ground connections.

I would say clutch switch as the gear position does not show up when clutch is pulled in. Did you change levers lately, if so I would look at the levers as cause. Happens often with lever changes
