Do you think this is repairable or do I have to replace it

when you take a picture of the place resize it to a decent size like 900 x ? and at the bottom of the response box see the "Attachments and other options"
it will allow you to browse and put your picture there for us to see.

I took my junction box apart and discovered. A melted solder over some chipped area.
Is there a way to show pic of what I'm talking about?
I'm wondering if this is my issue.

Not necessarily a connection. bare wire somewhere.

Ok I completely disconnected the rear lights all together. Checked all the connections in the headlight and all seems ok. As soon as I turn the key the tail fuse still blows. Not sure what else to do

take the tail light bulb out and see if any water has discolored the fitting, then with the bulb out see if the fuse still blows..if it does check what else is not working and all you have to do is look closely at anything thet doesn't work with that fuse out.

don't worry about "missing" wires from the junction box. It made it all these years with out any problems. Start by disconnecting the plug for the rear fender harness. If the fuse doesn't blow, then the problem is in the harness to the rear fender or the tail lamp itself. If it still blows, pop out the headlight and disconnect the front running lights. As I remember, you said you were chasing some kind of issue with the turn signals when you had this all happen...

  I would need to go and look at mine now, but I was trying to show you the actual fuses and what they are for.

But if you are blowing the fuse for the taillight when you turn on the bike? Or when you use the brake? If it blows as soon as you start it I would say a break or short in the wiring, but Troll or someone with more electrical knowledge will be able to help you out.
