My quads been in storage all winter. Finally took it out yesterday, and started getting it cleaned up for spring. I put an AMR stage 3 rev box and an AMR monster coil on it while i was at it. Well I put the charger on the battery and left it for a while.

When i came back I noticed I had no power. The neutral light wouldn't even turn on. Checked the fuses and sure enough one was blown. took out the spare and as soon as I put it in that one blew too! The battery charger was off at this point too. It ran fine when I put it away, and I don't think changing the coil and the CDI would cause the fuse to blow but what do you guys think?

I have to admit my harness is pretty shoddy and beat up (i just bought a new one tho) but I checked it pretty closely for shorts and didn't notice anything funny. Any info would help. Perhaps my regulator or solenoid are shot?

Sounds like you may have a direct ground to power or vise versa, make sure your + is not grounded at the coil...
