Re: Starter button not working (fixed) now blowing main fuse!

Okay so I may of found the problem. I disconnected everything in the headlight bucket and open up the handlebar controls to see if any wires are bare from rubbing against the edge of the holes. Everything looked good. Turn key on and no fuses blow. I then plug in the starter button and it still is fine. I proceed to plug in the rest of the wires from the right hand control and it is fine so I screw together the right hand control and try again and now my fuse breaks.

Aha I have found my problem. I open it back up and inspect everything up close. I press the lower piece against the handlebars and I see the little glob of solder holding the green/red wire to the little board is touching the handlebars. The green/red wire is above the yellow/red. This has to be what was blowing my fuse because it only blows when the housing is screwed together on the handlebar. Can I just cover it with something or maybe see if I can sand down the solder a bit to make it no longer touch?

good catch. I would get some liquif electrical tape stuff(cant remember when its called). If its sticking crazy high you could use a fine tip dremel bit to take it down a bit too
