Default Electrical Problem on F4I, solved!

Found reason fuse was blowing continuous. There's a plug with wire tails off the rear light ckt. Brown and green. They were taped up but had made contact. I'm hoping they were what was causing the intermittent blown fuses? Everythings working, will test ride today. May have to take back what I said about Honda F4I electrics. Would like to know why this plugs back there. The rear lights are stock but rear fender was removed when I bought bike, maybe from that?
What through me off and towards the front end was blowing the fuse up there when I grabbed wires. Doesn't seem the light tug a did would have got back to the rear area.....
Original Post: Any electrical Guru's please help. I've got the F4I torn half apart and am reaching the end of my ability.
Blowing 10 Amp circuit from instrument cluster. Yanked on wire bundle up there, blew it and now it is "shorting out"?

All I can say is take your time.

You are already beyond my ability.

Did this happen while you weremaintaining/ modifying the bike, or are you repairing crash damage?

I was on a 400 miler to Vermont, went over a short dirt section, really not bad, after we came back up to pavement I noticed my speedo out.

Thanks for the support!
