Default Short increased

Started off when I start bike with running lamps on I have no turn signals. If I start the bile with lamps off then turn them on signals work. I have crackling in speakers, cruise control light is on but the cruise control will not set. And I hit the brakes hard at 80 mph bake tire started fish tailing, didn't feel the abs kick on. No thumping! Any idea where I should start. 2things I did before I changed the passing lamps with halogen lamps and I had pulled the plug left side of bike under fairing it leads to brakes. I did reconnect Right away. Thunk shirt somewhere where should I start looking. Thanks guys has me pulling out what little hair I have left.

Sounds like you have a short. My suggestion is to pull the fairing and check all the wiring that can rub / or be vibrating on metal. I had issues as you did and found a wire bundle rubbing on top of the radio causing a short to the signal light(caused all kind of issues). This may not be your issue but it's a good place to start. I wish you the best of luck as electrical issues can be troublesome and a time sink hole.
