Hi after some help my 06 glide ultra classic has some gremlins
1 I keep blowing the fuse on my running lights, obvious a short but using an Ohms meter I can't find any change in the resistence of the wiring
2 After hunting this prob i now find that although I have ignition lights the management light won't come on and there is nothing on the starter button,the fuel pump did run but now doesn't nor does the headlight work, i suspect this is down to a low battery Ive got this on charge to see.Any thoughts out there ta

I don;t have a wiring diagram for your bike.
does this fuse only pop when the spot light switch is "On" ?
if yes-turn the switch to off & shake the bike ...smack the tyres with a cricket bat and see if the fuse holds...if it does than all good.
if it doesn;t check that the front fender tip light wiring isn't shorting on the fender- I don't know if that is on the same fused circuit
if the fuse material is "spattered" and carbon traces are inside the fuse- then it is a short...if the material has sagged and parted, that is an overload
check the spot bulbs that the bulbs haven't shorted...and trace the wires from teh spots back to teh switch
