auto electrician/ wiring problem
i brought my xr3i two years ago and basicly ive built it up into a zvh, but have a massive problem. the indicators dont work, they basicly keep blowing the fuse when i go to indicate. ive took the dash out and can see a load of bogged wiring ect.would like to know if anyone can prove just a replacement wiring loom for the indicators or is it easier just to replace the whole loom?if anyone thinks it could be anything else please voice your opinion.many thanks

if it keeps blowing fuses straight away then you've got a dead short somewhere, either wire trapped somewhere or 2 wire touching in that bodged bit prob
check these thing 1st

As said sounds like dead short to earth.
Make sure indicator stalk is in OFF position.
Take out the bulbs and then do a resistance test to earth on each LIVE wire, you will find one of these goes to earth, VERY VERY rarely have I found a bulb to do this, ie have a short internally, where obviously wires were touching inside the bulb itself.
