the 1404 is a Caterpillar (not 'Mitsubishi') motor designation, sometimes referred to as a "Hercules" motor in other brand of forklifts [some Daewoos had the same setup].
It is a pretty simple wire harness and does not have much in the way of bells and whistles. does the fuse blow as soon as you turn on the key" or as soon as you put it in gear? or as soon as you turn on the lights?
Have you installed any lights or other components that run wires up the overhead guard? have you taken a 'good eyeball' to the wires where they go into the distributor?. Those are the first places I would be checking first.

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.
