Default Yfz blowing fuses

So last week i decided to was my 07 yfz 450, when i was all done i rode it down to my buddys house down the street. When i went to leave i turned on my headlights and went to start it and a fuse blew. Everytime i turned the key it would blow a fuse. Then i realized it only blew when the lights are on. So now as soon as i go to turn the lights on it blows a fuse and shuts iff. Ive looked thru all the wires and havent found anything wet or shorting out and i also looked at the lights and everything in there and nothings wet. Why is it doing this?

Sounds like a pretty closed case of a short circuit, just a matter of finding it. If the wires are all good, have you taken the switch apart yet?

I mean im pretty sure the wires are good. Im not an electrician so j dont know what to really look for besides a worn wire to where the actual wire is showing, and i didnt see any of that. And yes i took the switch apart and everything was fine and dry. Im pretty lost

It is blowing the fuse located back by the battery? I would start looking over the rest of the wiring harness then. While you are at it, put a little dielectric grease in all the connectors. Make sure to really check anywhere the wiring comes near the frame unprotected.
