You have checked the wires like Troll suggested,
You have disconnected the wires at the fender, fuse still blows;
So has to be a ground someplace in the section between the battery and the harness. I can not think of anything else.

Thanks for the reply.

I guess there will be no riding at night.

Here is what i found this morning.
Turned key on...lights ok
Started bike, without touching the brake...fuse blown within a few seconds.
Disconnected rear lights at the fender...fuse blown as soon as ignition is turned on.
Going to get more fuses.

- August 08, 2016, 03:44:26 AMDisconnect the wires at the front brake light switch and check to see if it stills blows the fuse. Check the wires at the front brake switch CAREFULLY, I know I have pinched them once or twice when I reassembled the switch housing after lubing the throttle cables....

I'm in need of some assistance.
I'm in Stugis enjoying the riding...until the fuse for the tail/brake light blows. I've replaced the fuse, checked the brake and all is well. As soon as i start the bike and apply the brake, it blows. I've checked connections in the headlight bucket and fender connection...nothing obvious.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
