Between posting this thread and today I stumbled upon the wiring diagram, not that it does much more than make my head hurt and add a little anxiety to my day, but I had that figured out, at least.


As it turns out I discovered more aftermarket wiring I had either not been told about or forgot (Likely forgot) in the front fairing, tucked in deep is a cigarette outlet. I imagine that's why the ACC fuse needed to be 30A and why it blew with less, if it was inelegantly installed.

I guess I'll have to go over every wire in the TAIL circuit until I find the short, then. I've never done anything like this before so I imagine it'll be a big ugly mess by the time I'm done.

I haven't really had a chance to do much more than park it in the back of the garage this last week and a half and today looks like the last nice day to figure it out before winter hits.
