fuse blows when brake is aplied

[redrocket]

Hi,
I am having a problem with the signal fuse blowing when I touch either of the brakes.
When it blows it is shutting down the whole gauge cluster,everything.
The only thing I added over the winter is a 99-00 sub frame.
I checked all the wires nothing pintched.
It is forcated for 60 here tomorrow and I want to ride.
Ps it is an 03 anniversary that needs to get out on the road.
Any sugg. would be great,thanks Dennis

You have a short somewhere, has to be. There is a ton of lights/instruments all running thru the same fuse in alot of the busa circuits.

Somewhere in the +side of the brake light circuit, there must be a short.


I can qwik fix you for a ride if you want.
you'll need a couple feet of wire an' inline fuse,etc...
