I'm gonna double all the fuses when I get out of work, and I'll probably pull the TSSM out and have a look see. It wasn't really raining hard, just steady so I'm not sure if it is a water issue.

for sure pull them and actually look at the fuse itself. like i was said i was using a meter and they all showed good. something was obviously feeding back voltage so i was getting voltage on both sides of mine even though it was blown.

I tend to agree with OG1...I had the same problem...no brakes, turn indicator lights, or horn. Turned out to be the fuse.

That was the damn culprit! The friggin acc fuse. I too swore it was good! Well it ain't! Thanks Ogi

consider it a partial repayment for the barrage of stupid parts related questions i send your way...hah.

Well, as one would figure, the fuse keeps blowing so now I have to track down wiring and whatnot and see what the heck is rubbing, pinched, etc. Pizzes me off!

Soos and I are on the way to debug your bike........

.....and we're bringing the hammer.

Actually, we're better at this.....

This may sound crazy but worked for me when my bike got 4" of water dumped on in a three hour period at a friends house one night.
I had some of the same issues but not all that you are experiencing.

After I limped home, I took side panels, seat, and saddles bags. Used a leaf blower and noticed several "good sprays" of water being displaced from their hiding place.
I put two box fans, one on each side of the bike on high speed and let sit in this fashion overnight.

When I went out to start it the next day everything was back to normal.
I hope this is all it is and not an electrical problem.
Keep us posted bro and good luck!

Do you have a brake module to make the turn signals act as brake lights also? I had big crap with mine, everyone tried to help, (Bad Ground, short in fairing and such) Ended up taking it in and found the brake module was bad and feeding back. Took it off and no more short.

I believe you are one of those that tried to help me, I hope this helps.
