Default Speedometer and tach not working

Hey Guys. New to the forum, and looks like a great group. I just brought home from the dealer the new to me 06 Street Glide a few days ago. I go to take off today and the speedometer, tach, and trip A and B are not working. When I turn on the ignition the left and right blinkers flash (looks like 6 times).
I pulled side cover off and a fuse was blown (I think it was the accessory one). Soon as I turn it back on it blows it again.

Any suggestions?

Make a bet its your key switch. Had a very simalar problem with my 06 Heritage. Just needed to clean and use that special Electrical grease on it.

You should have some kind of new purchase warranty. Go see the dealer, He should fix that at no charge!

I would think so too. Congrats on the new to you Street Glide! Ck your batt terminals and engine ground to ensure they're clean and tight.

I will check connections but as I look everything over I have no turn signals, horn, tach or speedo. Gotta be something simple. I assume the battery is under the seat?

If you just bought it from a dealer a few days ago I'd go back to the dealer and have them fix it.

I went thru this just after taking off my front fairing to install a hidden antenna. Kept blowing the acc fuse. Must have had a wire pinched somewhere when I put it back together.

So I took off the fairing off again, massaged and moved all the wiring around inside my fairing, put it back together, and have not had the problem since. I never did find the problem but its gone now.
