What would cause my "Consumers" 15A fuse to blow on my 696

[BomberHead]

its been to 2 different shops and both times they claim to have fixed it. however moments after i leave the shop the fuse blows again.

they tried to blame it on my tail eliminator but the fuse will even blow if none of the rear lights are even hooked up. 

i have payed over $100 to get this problem fixed and i now know its nothing to do with any fault of my own.

if anyone has any help, let me know.

when you pay someone to fix electrical issues, your actually paying someone to find out where the cause of it is.

Some things to note

1) What did you do to the bike right before the problem began?
2) Which fuse blows?
3) What do do you exactly (move the bike a certain way, turn the handle bars a certain direction) do you that causes it to blow?

When installing a fender eliminator kit, its easy to accidently tug on a wire, and get it to strip by accident if you arent careful. once you have a probable cause, you have to go thru each circuit to see if there is a leak somewhere, maybe a wire is grounded to the frame by accident, or is touching another wire, and hte only way for it to blow the fuse is if you turn the bike in a funny direction that caues the wire to touch. etc.

thats whats funny. i had my fender eliminator kit on for months with no problem. and the fuse just blew out of nowhere.

1) i wasn't doing anything special. just riding home.
2) the "Consumers" 15A fuse. its the 3rd one down.
3) nothing. just riding.

whats weird about this is, the right turn signals stop working, along with the horn, and passing light. if i have the right signal engaged and i go to honk the horn, it triggers the left turn signal.

well then we know where to look now. trace the horn wire, the signals and passing light, look for any cuts on the wire. unplug the horn and see if you can get the fuse to blow, then repeat with the lights, unless the fuse blows randomly, then id go in and check for continuity between circuits to see which one is triggering what.
