Did you notice which indicator was in use when the fuse blew? Thats the side the fault will be on.

Turn the key and indicators on, and very lightly wiggle the wiring until you hear the fuse pop, then refit another fuse and keep narrowing this area down. There will be a wire with the insulation rubbed off it, or similar.

Take care not to pull firmly on the wiring loom, as you will move the wiring so far you won't be able to make it fault again.

yeah inda cant do that put new fuse in turn the key about 10 sec and the buga blows

yeah inda cant do that put new fuse in turn the key about 10 sec and the buga blowsTry putting a smaller fuse in - does it blow instantly or still in 10sec? Do you have to activate any switches to make it blow or does it pop right away with the key on?

Try giving the wiring loom a large pull in one direction and see if you can dislodge the fault.

Remove or unplug all the lights, horn etc so its just the loom connected - does the fault vanish? reconnect things one at a time.

Pop the covers of the switches and make sure nothing obvious is at fault there, like a switch mechanism broken and shorting to the metal bars.

Keep posting if none of this works - we'll get you sorted. Go slow and methodical and take regular breaks - thats when you have a brainwave thats solves it, on yer breaks.

[CookMySock]

Aha, I bet the heated grips controller is fucked. Disconnect it and see what happens.
