hi, have a 03 heritage softail checked bike over yesterday for a morning ride today. everything good lights brakesw ran great. today turned on ignition and only head &tail light on bike starts and runs. have no dash, brake ,signal lights. every time i turn ignition on the 15 amp fuse blows. tried this 2 times. i am thinking ign.switch went bad overnite. any other ideas are very welcome thanks

When a fuse blows like that you are shorting to ground. Have you done any recent mods to the bike? You should check those first. After that I would start taking bulbs out one at a time until it stops blowing. At least then it would give you some idea which wires to check.

check for frayed wire shorting against frame somewhere in the wire path

I would try using an ohm meter to see if the lights, ignition switch etc is shorted to ground that shouldn't be.
