To confirm, you remove the brown brush lead wire from the brush holder, Set your meter on amps, connect the red lead to the wire you removed , the black lead to the spot where they screw held it to the brush holder.
Simply turn the ignition on and the amp meter should show about 2. 25 Amps if it reads high amps you have a bad rotor
If it checks within that range, then I would look where your wiring harness goes through your headlight can. That rubber O-ring wears out from vibration. . The metal headlight can hole cuts through it and starts cutting into the wiring harness. When you’re checking, it look for signs of arcing around the edge of the hole. Check your wiring harness sheath. Make sure it’s intact.
If you get into a situation, where, as soon as you turn ignition on, it blows the fuse do this. Take a tail, light bulb or a turn. Signal bulb, connect two wires to it, (socket) connect one wire on one side of the fuse clip, the other wire on the other side of the fuse clip, (use alligator clips, )Turn your ignition on, if the light burns bright, you’ve got a short.) With the light burning, bright, start moving wiring harness, shaking it, if it’s in the harness, and your movement interrupts the short, that lights gonna go dim or out. Wherever you were shaking it that’s where it’s at.
These are the two likely places I’ve seen that blows the main views.
Hope this helps. Good luck. Keep us informed for as alway, Inquiring minds want to know.

Did you see my message from yesterday saying I don’t have a brown wire, a brown brush wire. I just have a green and a black. So I would use the green wire, correct?
