you need to find the short to frame first.
Pull the battery and test the battery - often they have been damaged and cause the short.
Then you will need to check cable by cable, component by component. Start with the motor, check for shorts there.
Good luck

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
