Does anyone have a recommendation for the fuse rating in the headlamp switch. I just repaired all of the wiring and switches for the headlamps, tail light, and brake switch. Everything was working fine and sudden the fuse blew and I cant determine what rate amp fuse should be in there. The one that blew was a 30 amp and I had some 14 amp fuses that blew right away. Any suggestions?

The 1931 specs. call for a 15 amp fuse on the light switch. You definitely have a short in your electrical system.
