Default Super Glide electrical problem

Hey, so I've got a '11 fxdc. A few days ago I was going to move it and forgot my fob so I decided to enter the pin instead of going back for the fob. Someone was gabbing while I was trying to enter the code and I did a wrong number, alarm blaring for a few minutes then reset. Here's the problem. When I tried again I couldn't get it to switch to manual code mode so I got my fob and, after starting, noticed I have no turn signals or brake light. The signals still flash when alarm chirps. The fuse is blown and keeps blowing new fuses. Is the problem with the siren or ?... Please help!

That’s a pretty busy circuit. You describe a short to ground so I would put a ohm meter on the O/W wire at the fuse holder and ground. I suspect you will see less than 1 ohm resistance if the fuse is 15A. Next start disconnecting the connectors on the circuit to find where the short is, Righ and Left hand controls ECT.... If you disconnect everything and it’s still shorted it will be in the main harness.

So... I lowered the rear 2" almost a year ago. 😂😫 Apparently my shocks just soft enough to let the rear tire touch the wire harness occasionally. I relocated the new harness to the side of the fender instead of over the center. Thanks for the response. The diagram helped in tracking the wires and I'll keep it for future reference. 👍
