2000 Monster 900 ie. More Turn Signal Woes

[Rickrides]

So, I ordered a new flasher unit.  Checked each signal light with a battery and wires--all four worked fine.  Installed the new flasher unit and tried the signals and the 7.5 A fuse blew. 

Installed a 15A in the 7.5 for flashers, tail light and idiot lights and all worked.  Initially.  Now the turn signals do not work again. 

Anyone have any thoughts?  Maybe there's a turn signal wire that leads up to the turn signal connections that is grounding?  I don't understand why it would work with the 15A fuse and then stop. 

Thanks for the help.  It may be time to call in a professional.

 Prolly fried something. There is a reason they tell you not to do that.

True.

Often using a fuse of a higher rating than called for equals disaster.  That is an absolute no no!  Most likely you have a short to ground.

Pretty common on bikes with tail chops.

If you felt inclined, you could chase down the short.
You'll go thru a box of 7.5amp fuses or you could put in a circuit breaker and then go thru the process of elimination...

Or you could bring it to a pro...

Good luck
