I've searched many threads to no avail. Here's my tale: My K75 was doing just fine. Decided to remove tank to paint it. Noticed that the plastic connector for the under tank wires was broken. Since I had previously eliminated the fuel level sender, I decided I only needed to install a new connector of the two wires needed for the pump. Connected green/white to green of tank lead, and brown to black of tank lead. (snipped and taped the other two wires).
Now when I hit the starter button, #6 fuse blows. Even when the connection to the tank lead is disconnected. Measured volts at fuse block when pushing the button and get a jump of 10 to as high as 18 volts. Looked at ground wire at frame, which is good.
As has been the case with most of my K bike experiences (I have 2 k100's as well) it usually tends to be a simple rather than complicated fix. But I can't figure this one out. Thanks in advance.
