Lol typing it out I just figured out exactly what I did wrong.
Thanks SYCARMS your reply helped me figure it out to.
The system is dc with the key switch originally used to supply power to the entire lighting system.
What that means is that I shouldn't have had a ground at all to the key switch it's self.
1 hot should have gone to one side of the key switch on circut the other side of the on circut that becomes hot when key switch is turned on is supposed to split and provide power to lights, turn signals and accessories they have their own groumd.
then the yellow w red wire should only be connected to the momentary and yellow w green to ground to complete the solenoid curcut.
The way I had it wired I was causing a direct short to ground when I turned the key on.
No wonder it was popping fuses and got hot so damn quick.
That's great news though cause it means I dont have to change much and as long as i didn't fry the key switch I can fix it in a few minutes this weekend.
