Shorted ignition timing modual?
Ok, So I was riding my 98 hugger last sun when it shut down and wouldnt restart. Discovered a blown ignition fuse and replaced. Fuse continues to blow as soon as I flip the kill switch to Run. Ripped everything apart looking for a short. Switch is good, Grounds are good, Wiring is in excellent condition. If i disconnect my ignition coil my bike will not short. Coil tested good, bought a new one in disbelief. No avail. Have a Dyna 2000i to replace the stock ignition timing module that is discontinued. The 2000i wires right to the coil instead of the stock wiring harness. Wondering if anyone knows if I had fried the timing module if that would cause my problem. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Solution
Cut the stock ignition switch off and jumped the wires across to simulate the switch minus the key. Sucker cranked and tried to start. Replaced with new ignition and put the tank back on. started immediately. As good as new. Not quite sure how it was shorting because all the lights and gauges worked with the old one. That's why i hadn't already swapped it out. Thanks to anyone that took the time to look and ponder. I hate electrical problems, and that is part of what i do for my job.
