this dang fuse keeps blowing...I know it powers the blinkers, dash and the rear running light but is there anything else? I have been looking all over the bike shaking wires and I can't get it to blow today but all week it has been poping them and I have been pulled over for no tail light twice because of it. | ||

The accessory fuse (10 Amps) - taillight, license plate lamp, turn signals, front position lamp. | ||

Okay, I'll bite. What's a front position lamp? | ||

The front position lamp is used for a parking lamp on the euro bikes. | ||

Don't just shake wires to get it to blow again, physically look at the wires coming from the fuse to every single connector, to see if there is chaffed/exposed wiring at some place in the harness. I am going to take a stab in the dark and say that things have been very wet and humid last week, but dried up a tad for the past two days where you live. Right? If so, I wouldn't be shocked if moisture got on a connector or on some exposed wiring and shorted the fuse. (Message edited by NONo443 on July 12, 2011) | ||

Check the wire for the "front position lamp" as well as the other headlight wires as they pass through the opening just behind the headlight assembly. You will likely find a chafed wire that is grounding/shorting the circuit. HTH. Let us know. | ||

Mine blew a few times last year, then stopped. Probably was because I bought a box of fuses. | ||

well I think I have narrowed it down to the wire that goes in to the gauges that lights up the neutral light. I say this because i electrical tape rapped those wires and it is not popping the fuse anymore and instead causing the neutral light to light up randomly while going down the road...so it is a temp fix until i can take the time to trace those wires and fine the bad one/s. I would rather have false neutral lights popping up than no tail light and blinkers any day. | ||

also I do not have that front position lamp because I am using a firebolt wiring harness and it does not have any wires for that light so when I put the lightning front end I scrapped it besides it seemed useless...but then again i have the advantage of my lightning front end running one light on low beam and two lights on bright like the firebolt does.
