Starter relay? Possible ignition sw? Check voltage on small wire to starter when your body hits starter switch. Work back from there.

After a re-re-read OP. headlights may pull 10 amps, starter pulls 80 amps...fix your wires!! or carry a bicycle. lol

The battery probably went dead from not being charged by the alternator due to the pulled wire.
