You've got either a short or grounding problem somewhere causing all that. Check the wiring, make sure none of it is worn through the protective jacket to the wire, which may be touching other metal on the bike and shorting out, just as it would in your home electrical wiring and fuse box. Blowing or tripping a fuse protects you and the rest of the electrical system from further damage. If you can't find anything, check with a local repair shop.
Usually a bad regulator will only cause problems with charging... Sounds like you've got a short somewhere in the wiring...I'd start by checking the ignition switch wiring and the connections going into the fuse box.
I strongly suggest your first priority will be to discover why your tail lights are seemingly consuming many times more current than they should. A 30 amp fuse has less resistance than a 10 amp though the difference is hardly measurable.
I suspect when that is sorted out the other faults could disappear without further effort.
It is time to find a circuit diagram and to trace the tail light wiring from the supply to the lamps in order to discover what went wrong.
i had to run a inline fuse on my bike with a 15 amp fuse, but there is a short somewhere. check all connections at solenoid make sure nothing is touching
connector under the truck, near the trans cannot remember specifics at this time but remember starting there every time one cam into the dealer with tail light issues and blown fuses
I would look for a wiring short in the trunk at the taillamp area, or, inspect the sockets for the taillamp bulbs for corrosion. In any case, you have a short circuit in the trunk area, also check the wire that comes from the body & goes up the trunk hinge on the driver side; that wire may be chafed, and it may be shorting out. Hope this helps; please get back to me if you need any further assistance.
the main fuse was the problem. thanks
did you check the main fuse which is located in the starter relay?
