Here are the symptoms:
Battery fuse blows as soon as battery is connected, even with switch off.
Turning the key does turn smoothly between the settings
Hooking only the battery hot lead does not blow the fuse, only when adding the accessory wire does.The two main wires off this fuse are the regulator and the ignition switch
Lights come on - speedo does not, not blinkers just steady turn signal light
No reaction from the starter when trying to start it (does not turn at all)
Obviously a short but could the ignition switch be bad? If so how do you test it when there is no connector to test from?
