Ok, try unplugging the large plug in the TCI and see if it blows.Greg

Assume that happens with the key on and not offOriginally posted by nzemke View PostSo the saga continues....So since I am broke till middle of the month I decided to see if I could just clean the contacts and get her to work till I can afford the new part...So I took the dremel to it and cleaned up the contact points so they make contact again. Only now it blows the ignition fuse the second I turn the kill switch to on. I swapped the starter solenoid back for the one I took off yesterday in hopes that I was just seeing a bad one but getting the same thing....
Anyone know what this might be....I'm confused as all hell
. Definitely gotta' short in that prim. ign. circle somewhere.

OK, I think your going to have to check the wiring harness for a short. The only thing that fuse goes to is the ballast resistor and the TCI. Other than that it's just wiring.
One MORE thing you might want to try just for giggles, unplug the kill switch and try and blow another fuse
by hooking the two red/white wires together in the harness end. Maybe you'll get lucky and the short is in the kill switch itself.

I was thinking the same thing with trying to cross the wires in the switch. Will try that this evening when I get back from national night out.79F with two parts bikes (78E and a 79F). Ran it for the first season all the way through the summer. more work to do this Spring!Comment

It plugs in up under the tank, just unplug it and eliminate the switch entirely and jump those wires.Originally posted by nzemke View PostGreg

Naw........fix the problem. The contacts or spring in there could of slipped causing to short across.............but you'll never know unless you take it apart. Least would be one thing to eliminate out of the equation as causing a problem.........clean all them pieces while your thereOriginally posted by BA80 View Post

Brant, I'm just trying to help him figure out WHERE the problem is. Go back and read the last few posts before you interject please.
He doesn't need to FIX anything until he knows where the problem is coming from.Greg

As a handy substitute for a fuse, rig up a head light lightbulb with some leads that can be placed in the fuse terminals, to replace the fuse. If it lights full bright, you have a short.
And its reusable.

So nz, did you figure out where the short is?Greg

Indeed I did
it ended up being in the kill switch where I had previously screwed them together and they were grounding to the handlebars...yeah some times you just want to bang your head on the wall.
So now that's done and I even rode it to work today but then found that my blinkers are all messed up 
So the blinker on the left blinks intermittently if it so chooses to. And the Right side just stays solid. And neither turn off after the 10 seconds.

He doesn't need to FIX anything until he knows where the problem is coming from..........have no need to re-read.....just a few steps ahead of ya'.
