Well, for sure you have a dead short to ground. I almost think maybe be easier to yank everything out and start over. Most bikes have alot of wiring that is not essential. Might save some headaches starting from scratch. my .02. Could be a pinched wire, bare wire rubbing the frame, hard to tell over the net.
