There has to be something simple. check for broke/melted wires, wiggle test wires to make it blow fuse. how long does it take to blow fuse. does the fan go on.do you have to ride it to get it to blow?

Ive had my bike at a workshop for the last 4weeks getting a freshn up . ... If the fuse isblowing that quick you should be able to find it quickly , probably .... eliminated the dash and reduced the amount of things you need to look at. .... SL750 / Dorsoduro 750 · 2008-2014 Mana 850 and Mana 850 GT-ABS.
do a meter test on the battery test it with no lights on and no engine running should show 12.5volts. now do the same with engine running should be around 13-14 volts on idle if under 12 volts when engine is running or spikes in power were by keeps jumping up and down on the volts then the alienator is at fault. if all is fine. then you will need to check the earth's one under the battery. check them are good and clean. then there is the light switch and fuse you need to check them. look at the fuse if intacted. test it and at same time flick the fuse see if it stays good. failing all them and nothing wrong there must be a fault with the main line some were and that is going to take some finding. could be any were from the main fuse to each light unit.
Using a smaller fuse should make the problem happen more often. A mechanic would unplug the pump harness at the tank and check the circuit for high resistance or a short to ground. If nothing is found in the harness, I would suspect the pump in the tank.
you will need to try a new battery, unfortunatly sometimes jumping of a larger battery can spike the regulator, so when the new battery is fitted put a mulimeter across the battery, should read just over 12v engine stopped and rise to 13.5-14v with the engine running.
Its a faulty switch/sensor on your brakes master cylinder. The switch leaks brake fluid into the wires connected to it causing a short in the circuit and blowing the fuse that controls the ABS, odometer, speedometer and cruise control. This problem can also cause a fire. A fire can occur even when the car is off. Go to this link to find out how to fix the problem. - http://www.fordwindstarrecall.info/
Theres gotta be a sorting wire somewhere in the car. Since it stopped for a while after the alarm was disconnected, I would think its under the dash somewhere
