Yup, you're right, it's the ignition switch harness that's cable tied.

The 10 pin connector controls everything electrical on the bike. From ignition problems, to lights, to relays.
When the wires in it get burnt or losing connection you will start having all kinds of electrical problems that will drive you nuts. They usually start off small but not always. And can leave you stranded. I had to drive home from work at night one night at midnight with no lights whatsoever on the bike. No dash lights no head lights , no tail lights , not even brake lights. It was scary in pitch darkness. That’s when I parked the bike and cut that goofy 10 pin connector out, don’t try to use crimp connectors. It will end up biting you in the end. Solder and heat shrink each wire. Unbolt the fuse block to give yourself more wire space.
