The bike:
2007 XB12STT
Non-stock front turn signals
Fender eliminator with rear-turn signals “in” the rear red light case.
Race ECM and custom exhaust.
The issues:
No running lights
No turn signals
Instruments and gauges blackout (nothing comes on except the high beam indicator when I turn on the high beams)
10A ACC fuse keeps blowing every time I put the key at ON
The goods:
Bike starts and runs fine
High beams work
Horn works
Background:
The bike was working just fine and it is currently in my shed for the winter. I received a Buelltooth and it wouldn’t work (0-6 error). The wiring near the tail light didn’t look too good; electrical tape etc, there was a few random grounds (red wires) and 2-3 loose wires (blacks/brown). Pic 1 – 3 is of the original wiring job.
I was going to “ground” all the loose wires and clear the electrical tape to make it look nice, and hopefully have the Buelltooth work. Of course, genius me didn’t put the key at the OFF position….There was a short-circuit when I tried to ground one of the wires (I believe it was a red one but not 100% sure) and the 10A ACC fuse blew, which resulted in the aforementioned issues.
I’ve since went through about a dozen 10A fuses and they keep blowing. I’ve tried about every configuration with the tail light wires so I’m beginning to think the issue is somewhere else. I doubt it's a cross-wire, I caused it while messing around with the wires with the key still on, I suspect something else blew. Are there fuses elsewhere on the bike? Something in the dashboard maybe.
