Calling the the electrical guru's
I bought my daughter a Big Boy scooter. She had it an hour and crashed it :-\
Damage was just to the bottom body panels on the one side. No wiring at all in the crash site.
So i stripped it down and fixed the body panels.
The bike worked fine before and during the strip down.
I put it back together again and now the moment i switch it on it blows the fuse in the main battery line.

How do you find a fault like this?

The scooter is very new so the wiring all looks pristine.
The only clue I have is that one of the wires coming off the coil got very hot instantly.
I know that she has been turning the ignition on and off blipping the hooter etc. could that have burned out the coil?
