blowing turn signal fuses- 01 traveller

[ironhorse99]

Before we go looking for shorts let me say that when this happens its when the bike is running. with the key on I can use them all day long without problem. When I start the bike that's when it goes. I've checked the regulator @ 4k rpm,s & its outputs 15.4 volts....a little high but I think ok. This has been a problem since the bike was new. It would randomly blow a fuse & after 2 yrs the main fuse went(in front of a gas station no less) just as I used the signal. Upon inspection of the t.s.flasher I saw the resister was all burned up. Thinking it was the flasher I started using aftermarket units which flashed too rapidly....I don't want to get sidetracked with that issue. What I'm leaning towards is the back current diodes. Looking at the wire diagram for the T.S. 1 lead goes to the t.s.flasher(22) & the other to the light relay(36) Between the connector which I found & the light relay is a 600v 3a back current diode I'd like to check but can't find it.I thought by disconnecting the connector I'd be able to check it with my meter which has that ability. It looks like this diode protects against starter motor effects. At any rate......any help in this regard is Greatly Appreciated. I don't know if I'm allowed by will try & post this in the 660 section as well.

are the diodes in the loom identified with a little yellow or white marker tape on the outer loom itself,,

Just got in from doing some investigation/tear-down and saw the white tape & suspected it was where the diodes are located as I was a little disappointed when the wiring was different than the Baggy & saw no yellow tape. Thanks A Ton!!! I'm finished for the eve. Will try & continue this wk. as I'm doing 10's this wk.in work. What would be a good alternative when re-taping....just electrical tape?? BTW....I did find some bare wire for turn signals in the rear by the tail light assy. I noticed the clamp on the oil line to the tank had pierced the wire casing & when i removed the tail lite I saw 3 wires were compromised. I'm still leaning towards the diodes as this has been ongoing since day 1.
There are 3 diodes according to my diagram. Does this marker indicate all three??

I completely forgot to jot down the resolution to this problem which was bare wires found in the area of the brake light wiring.The pass thru section at the back has a sharp unfinished edge with at the heart of the problem. Hard to believe it was an issue when the bike was so new but...lessen learned. Sorry for the long delay.
