Default one problem fixed and another is created!

Well the guy who broke my head offered to soder my wires together and two sparked (nothing big a little one) and now bike wont turn on. It was the R/R wires. I checked the fuses up by the throttle on the right and none were broke. I checked and the new wires I ran from battery to my f4i gauges make the clock come on. I am thinking I pulled out a wire in the front somewhere when I was hooking up the clock wire or there are more fuses on the bike somewhere. I would not think alittle spark would blow out anything that would start the bike other than the fuse. Any ideas?

when I mean the bike doesn't turn on, I mean I turn the key and get nothing, I have the fan hardwired to turn on with bike. And literally get no power what so ever by turning the key

Theres a fuse in your starter relay, a 30Amp one. You have to undo a wire clip off of it to expose it.

I did see a fuse under my seat that I tested and it came out positive. Is this the same one? The one I tested was a 30a

Most likely the same. Thats the only other fuse in the bike besides the ones up front you said you tested.
Are you 110% sure that it IS good?

Thats the only fuse that will cut off power to the whole bike like that.

If it is indeed good, And you have the connector BACK on the relay (it covers the fuse) then i would check to make sure your batt didnt get zapped/fried, and that you have a good ground.

If you do all that and it still doesnt work, I dont know what the hell ya did lol.

If you easily saw the 30a fuse, you tested the spare fuse.

The actual fuse is in the starter relay & covered.

Ya it was underneath a unit and easily accessed without having to move anything. I will remove the tank today and look for the fuse you are talking about.

That unit is the starter relay and where the actual fuse is. Check this out

http://fiche.ronayers.com/Index.cfm/.../Group/BATTERY

item #20 which is part of the switch assembly (item #8). The one under it is a spare like I said, in a rubber holder. And no worries, I made the exact same mistake trying to test mine too

Ah I see it now. Thanks Kuro, I will check that out. Hopefully it is that, if not hope I pulled out the wire in the front of the bike. If it isn't either of those what could it be?

You have the clock but no power to anything when you turn the key. Not even to the fan you have hardwired in.

I'd say I'm 99% sure that the main fuse, the 30a one in the relay, is blown. Even with a dead battery or defective relay, you should still get some power to lights and gauges with Key On.
