I'll keep looking. I have recently had the headlight off and installed an ignition switch. I may have to take a closer look at that again. |

You've definately got a short somewhere. Check the wiring behind the headlight, it's possible you've connected the switch wrongly. If that's OK, leave the fuse out, beg borrow or steal a multimeter. This should confirm a short. Now try disconnecting wires until short disapears. Easy, :wacko: |
