Fuse problem and i cant figure it out
I recently was trying to install a rear tail light with integrated blinkers and i accidently applied power to the ground side of the white plug for the license plate light and now all the fuse in my fuse block popped. The only one i got to work was the cluster and that was because i put a 15amp fuse in the slot with a 10amp fuse it wouldnt turn on. So i have no idea what i should do and i have been searching for hours. Its a 06 cbr600f4i incase you need to know.
30amp fuse is good and i already took the 15amp out i just wanted to see if it would work... i did notice everytime i hit the blinker switch it would pop so i may have a bad switch up front...but even when i put a new 10amp fuse for the cluster it still wouldnt work
I would unhook the tail light and see if your problem goes away. The fuse blowing when you hit the blinker is a good indicator you have something not wired correctly. Since the problem only happened after you installed the light, I would lean towards that as the problem and not a faulty switch.
i gotta get more fuses since i went through about 8 so far.....even after i unpluggeg the light i still couldnt get anything to work....im gonna unplug all the harness from the main harness and see what happens
a little update...
replaced all fuses and cluster turns on and my brake light is staying on all the time
plugged in the turn signal switch and 2 seconds after i hit the turn signal the fuse pops
another update..the tail light is the light that is staying on all the time not the brake light also the headlights wont turn on either....im thinking the turn signal switch is no good

It is more probable that either a wire is connected backwards, meaning that it's plugged into the wrong place (which is easy to do with the signals since they're single bullet connectors), or that a wire has gotten pinched between a bracket or screw against the frame shorting the wire to the frame. Fuses blow because they're passing more current through the circuit than they were designed for. A pinched wire to the frame could draw significantly more current than it should, which would easily melt the wire or cause a fire. Instead the fuse blows, opening the circuit and preventing the damage.
Check your connections and wire colors to make sure you've got them connected correctly. Also make sure that during reassembly, you didn't inadvertantly pinch a wire.
