Answer
Hi Tyler.

This sounds like the wreck dis some damage to the wiring.  You may want to check the entire ignition system for shorts and damaged components.  Remember that not all damage is visible.  You could have a short or a component that needs replacing.

Start with that and let me know what you find.

Good luck and ride safe.
