I started with the one that stuck out.....the vehicle speed sensor harness was grey and all the other ones are black.  BAM! about an inch below the female connector the red and black wires to the connector both had bare wire exposed

did we not tell you to go over the harness and look for bare wires?
btw, that's where the ground cable connection is

Yes you did indeed! I just didn't look at those particular ones.  I just assumed it would be nead the steering head because it happened right after taking a left turn so I focused on the harnesses near the steering. You live and you learn! This was definately a character building experience! haha.  Thanks again for all the great advice guys!
