There is only 1 good brand I was told to use, I cant remember the name, when I get home from work Ill look it up. I think it came in a orange and yellow labeled bag. The dealer sells them. Theyre about 100-125. But if you had it on your battery that may have cooked it by the heat and the looks of it being smashed.

Just reread your post about the black and red marked plugs. You may have a melted pin hole and thats why its shorting out. Take a look you just may need to get a new plug and the correct pins. Thinking out loud here.

No man i used the paint app on the pc to mark which plug ins i was talking about is what i meant to say. I just took some scissors and cut the red plastic sleeving from the module and it has that electrical burnt smell! So that kinda tells me i found the culprit..yea?

Sounds like you found the culprit, hate that you tore the bike apart, that's why I hate electrical work, don't get me wrong I'm good at it, I was an Avionics and Electronics expert on F-15/16 fighters while in the Air Force. Let us know how this turns out Marvo75.

Glad to hear. On the bright side now you're an expert on wiring bars. Now you can charge someone to change bars
