2001 5th Gen Lights and instruments dead

[Jlewis50]

I have a 2001 Honda VFR 800 that has a dead instrument cluster and all lights. This is a new issue and happened when I was checking the wiring and a accidentally grounded a hot lead. 
I thought it was just a fuse. All fuses are fine. 
The bike cranks right up but every light function is now dead. Head lights, turn signals and instruments totally dead.
I’m thinking a relay as it’s not a fuse.

For all those lights to be dead AND you don't have a blown fuse then you most likely have a Ground fault. There is no relay that controls all those lights! Only your two Headlight relays. The common link between all these lights is the Ground for them and Fuse G 10amp !

 

Go through measuring the grounds of your lights. Make sure you get zero ohms/continuity back to the negative terminal of the battery for every Ground you check.

 

Do you have the Service Manual? You can download it from the forum. Do you have a multimeter and know how to use it?

Thanks for hour reply. I’m good with the meter and will work on it. I’ve checked all the easy and obvious things.

Appears Fuse G was faulty.
