For some reason I've been blowing the 7.5 amp fuse which is connected to the red wires in the first pic. Not sure why or what could be causing this. Using the engmann panel btw. What do these wires go to? For some reason now I cant get anything to work. no dash lights nothing. Was working fine yesterday. Do these wires have anything to do with the coil?

The second pic shows the black wires which should be connected to the coil. Ive had some problems before with the coil wires. Had a short in one of them so I reran the wire and havent had a problem until today. Now for some reason that fuse keeps popping. What am I missing here?? sorry for the explanantion but I am really really not an electrical guy, and im actual quite amazed that ive gotten this far. Can someone help me out? Thanks
