Not to state the obvious but If the unit only blows ecm fuses with the Thundermax ecm & not the factory ecm than it's the Thundermax ecm causing the problem. I love Zippers 80" hammer sportster kit but as far as the Thundermax autotune ecm's I am not impressed. Nothing but issues from what I have seen. Does your security light stay on? That's also a Thundermax common issue.

An additional note: Most 2007 Softail's had recall 0130. Basicaly the positive batt cable chafes on a oil tank weld. The recall includes inspecting the cables & installing a plastic tray for the cables. Give your vin# to the local dealer & see if it's been done.
