Polaris Hawkeye Blowing Fuses

22 is the pos feed from the starter / battery , so your problem is on the 43 wire on out , if it's a grounded wire and not a shorted component you could try checking the harness , unhook both battery wires , connect your meter { on ohms setting } , one lead to chassis ground and the other to the 43 wire { pull the fuse and stick the probe in the 43 slot } , with key off should be infinate { open } , turn the key on and your meter will show zero or low ohms { shorted to ground } and start feeling / squeezing along the wiring harness and keep a eye on the meter , if it starts jumping around you found the bad spot .

I recall trying to do that with one of the wires that comes out of the ignition switch. I did have 1 or 2 ohms (basically a short) between it, and the chassis ground. Your squeezing idea is a great one, I'm gonna give that a shot!
Thanks for the help, I'm a bit disappointed I haven't fixed this yet in all honesty. I'm nearly done getting my associates degree in electrical engineering tech and I can't find a short in a wire! haha.

Just unplugged that switch after finding that the Red and black wires that come out of the ignition switch had 0 ohms to ground. After unplugging the switches on the left handlebar, I found R/W 40 is 0 ohms to ground.
Between 34 Green and 40 R/W there is no resistance, and both are shorted to ground. I've traced both wires back to the fuse plugs, and can't find anything, and they're still shorted. Gotta look at it again later.
