Wiring schematic needed

[cajunbiker]

HELP, I have a 2011 K9 250, it has developed a dead short somewhere. When I turn the key it blows the 5 amp fuse located on the lower left side of the fuse box (see picture). Arrow indicates where the fuse should go, in the F7 slot. Before I rip into it I would like a better idea of where to start looking. A schematic should help. The latest version of the Big Dog shop manual & I use the term "shop manual' very lightly is of no help since it has zero info on the 2011 K9 250.

First get a Volt/Ohm meter.
Harbor Freight frequently has them as free with other purchase, if not I think they are may $8 or less.
Until you check the resistance, you do not know if its a dead short or just partial and using more than the 5 A (dead short is more likely)

Were there any odd symptoms before this?
Did you do anything to the bike in way of maintenance or washing right before it happened?
If you power up without that fuse, what doesn't work? This will give you a clue where to start.

The ones I´ve got (2009-2011) are more about the 09 and little about the 2011........ it might be the same you already have?

That looks like the PDM replacement from BDM. The shop manual will be worthless if that is the case. On the cover there "Should" be a label of what fuse is what. If it is even close to what the Chopper was (mine blew so replaced with a RIP) but it had F7 labeled as Brake/RH/LH Turn signals.

You ever get this resolved?

Sorry, couldn't up date. My account was jacked up for a while but Tim got it squared away.

The right rear break light/turn signal wiring inside the chrome housing literally fell apart & was shorting out against the medal. Now I'm on the hunt for a replacement.
