225DX Neutral light question

[225dxyamaha]

Hey guys i just have a quick question. Ok so a few years back when i was like 11 i decided to take the exploded battery out of my trike. I think it was the original and winter got at it and cracked it. When the battery was in the neutral light wouldn't come on by just turning the key to "ON" it would only come on if the trike was running. Now obviously it wouldn't come on due to the fact the batter was split in two but now that ive taken it out that light doesn't work. All other lights work when its running but that one. Its not blown because when i put a good battery in (from the 4-wheeler) it comes on normally running or not. EDIT: i just rememberd It used to come on without the battery but ever since i but an oversized battery in and took it out it dont work. I notice when i rev it up really high the light will just come on faintly. Remember all other lights work but that one while running. Any ideas?

my light comes on by turning the key without the engine running, and the longer i ride the brighter that light gets, so im thinking it runs from battery alone,

is the wire on the neu. button still hooked up should be by the shifter

If you have a new charged battery in her it should come on when she's in neutral and the ignition key is in the on position.

Do you have a bad ground, connection, or neutral switch even??
