I'm not much better and i took 2 years of vo-tech electrical classes in the afternoons during high school. )) Try this ... set your meter and leads to the audible continuity setting, connect one lead to the positive and the other to the frame, in this instance i'd start with the rear swingarm, then cycle all your switches. If you get an audible tone when turning a switch to the on position, then that circuit has a short to ground in it somewhere. I accidentally hooked my black wire to the ground connector on the aux. power plug in my panel, and put the green on the positive connection. The engine ran fine, i didn't realize black was hot until my reverse cable hit the instrument panel and sparked. I think they consulted with Lucas on wiring these up .... ))) oh dang, i let my smoke out again ....
