2008 Seadoo Challenger 180...Electrical issue, helpppppp!

[whealy22]

Hey guys, It's spring time and I'm back to chasing this issue. The boats horn and radio do not work. I inspected the fuses by the driver seat and found the accessories fuse was blown. When I replaced it. It immediately blew. I can't even get the fuse in before it blows. I unplugged the radio and the 12v lighter plug and the fuse still blows. I really hate electrical lol. Does anyone know what else I should be looking for? Is this a bad wire? is there something I could look for that is usually the issue? There is also 3 fuses that are under the battery compartment and the one that runs the bilge, lights in the boat and gauges also blows, this could be a result of me putting in the 10amp fuse and it is shorting out but I'm pretty stumped. What am i looking for?

Thanks for the suggestions. I was about to roast the no replies and no help here. I checked all the grounds and wires, pulled apart the gauges, horn, running lights etc, blower, bilge nothing. So, for the next guy, who just can't get a reply. This particular issue was in the ICS Module/Motor. Once i disconnected the ground and power wire and put fuse back in, everything started working great again. Fuse didn't blow. The actuating arm was disconnected anyway. So, the guy prior to me must have done that. The ICS module and motor is in the battery compartment to the rear of the battery. It's a connector with a red and black wire. Try that if you are having issues. I'm relatively sure, it was something inside that module itself since I kept hearing a clicking every time the fuse touched the accessories port. Once i disconnected those wires, no click, no blowing fuse. Now on to the ICS Gate issue that seems to be common with these.
