150 1999 Evinrude blowing 20 amp fuse

[RAYHYAR]

I did a dumb thing and pulled the cranking battery cable.While the engine was running. Now it blows the 20 amp fuse that comes from the power distribution center. It blows it with out the ignition on. It feeds two wires a purple with white stripe and a purple wire.
Can anyone help?

Welcome RAYHYAR!

I'm a little uncertain as to the location of the fuse that is blowing. Is it on the engine or at the dash area?

The purple w/white stripe wire usually is the power lead to the primer solenoid and the purple is the power feed from the ignition switch to accessories like the alarm horn, dash gauges, etc. Are these wires at the engine or dash?

Thanks for the reply. The fuse is located on the motor. It comes from behind the power distribution panel where all of the 10 amp fuses and the relays are located. There are 7 fuses and 4 relays. This fuse is fed by a black wire. It is protected with a rubber cover. It is hard to locate, but it feeds the two wires and goes into a wiring harness at the top of the motor. I suppose it is the fuel injector center. Not sure what it is called

The 20 amp fuse is located in the motor. It comes from the power distribution panel. This distribution panel has 7 fuses and 4 relays.The fuse is fed by a black wire coming from behind the panel. as soon as the fuse is installed it blows. Without the ignition being on.The purple wires go into a wiring harness that is attached to the fuel injector box.
