Had the same thing happen, blown fuse caused by dead short behind the head light. The wiring bundle was catching on the steering head zerk and had worn thru the insulation. Took me a while to trace that little bit*h out. Ended up replacing the zerk with a plug, just reinstall a zerk to grease then put the plug back in.

If it's a '94 it has a speedometer cable hooked up to the front wheel. It's either the cable, or the gear in the hub.
