Where do they ground at?

My 1989 Banshee will start and run fine but won't shut off. Neither the handlebar switch nor the key switch will turn the engine off. I've read that some people have had the problem of the engine revving up and won't shut off, but mine doesn't rev up or anything, it just wont shut off. Even when the engine is cold it won't shut off. I've been dumping the clutch to turn it off. The TORS has already been removed and I've replaced the entire wiring harness and the handlebar switch. Any ideas why it won't shut off?

I've replaced the entire wiring harness, I know the ground wire has to be okay because that ground wire supplies the ground to other components that work fine. Could it be something in the CDI?

I have a 1989 shee, the on/off key switch has been bypass by snipping the red/black wire and the black wire and soldering them together, but i wanted to put the key switch back on to prevent people from riding it witout me knowing. So i purchased a new key swich and i connected in the new switch and the switch doesn't do anything. The engine runs when the key is in both the 'on' and 'off' positions. Even when i totally disconnected the switch from the harness the engine still runs. Any ideas why the key switch isn't doing anything? I checked the switch for continuity and it's fine. I also replaced the complete wire harness.
