Default Speedo, Odo, turn signals, brake lights, and horn inop

My bike: 1999 xlh 883 Hugger.
A couple weeks ago I went on a 3 day ride from Florida to Ohio. No problems. On our way back a couple days ago, I was parking my bike and the incline was much more than I realized. As a knee-jerk reaction to the bike feeling like it was falling over, I white-knuckled the handle bars and cranked the throttle WAY back revving the engine way too high. As I came back to my senses I released the throttle. Many miles down the road I realized I had no speedometer/odometer and no blinkers. When we stopped for gas I checked all my lights. While I do have running lights, I not only had no blinkers, but also no brake lights, no hazards, and oddly enough no horn either. UGH!!
When we stopped for the night I checked the fuses and sure enough it had blown. SWEET!! All things work again.
Not so fast. When we started on the road the next morning as soon as we pulled out of the driveway I lost it all again.

I'm back home now and need to get her fixed. Help!! All suggestions appreciated.

Jodi

You have a short.
Probably pulled at the handlebars and some wires got yanked.
Also check under rear fender for wire scrub against tire.
