Intermittent short

[DonH57]

We have a 2013 Yamaha YDRAX3F that a 10 amp fuse blows intermittently at random times and I mean really random and this has only occured at night. I only know before I misplaced my wiring diagram this fuse feeds the headlights, taillights, turn signals, EFI module which cuts fuel to the injector stopping the cart. I pulled and examined the headlights to find the short. The turn signal lights have an additional light mounted so the driver can see they are blinking and I suspect maybe the wires coming down thru the windshield posts may be the issue. This has never happened during daytime operation and we use the cart a lot. Anybody got any ideas ? Thanks in advance, Don.

Check all the wiring for your lights. You will find the problem.

Thanks. Remembering 3 of the occurences happened as we were turning left I disconnected and pulled the drivers left turn idiot lamp from inside the windshield frame and examined the wires for chafing since there are bolts running thru the frame. I now can't bring them back thru but want to leave it out for a while and see if this happens again.

I have used jack chain that is used to hang florescent fixtures, to fish wires up walls many times.

Thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm fished the light wires back down that channel
