Blew A Damn Fuse

[Stu64]

Of course it happened after dark so i had no brakelights or dash lights

oh and the glove box wouldn't open either where my clear lens glasses were!!

I guess my brake light circuit's 10amp fuse couldn't handle the extra juice of the

led's in my top box?? But i thought led's didn't take much to operate? Worked fine when i left the house and must have been about 25 miles later they went out.

I was using my cruise control and was wondering if when i hit the brake to release

it if it blew the fuse?

So my question is do any of you have extra accesories wired in the brake circuit and have had the same problem? What did you do to fix it? Increase fuse size to 15amp? Oh and by the way i had to get out the owners manual to find the f..king

fusebox location :angry:

also the scorpio alarm harness is in the equation too! But it was working fine,even after the fuse blew.

Make sure you don't have a wire shorted somewhere. JB

Going out to the garage to investigate it right now. <_<

Blew the fuse allright and another and another till i traced it down to one of the little connections for the Givi top box,you know those little black connection boxes that are a pain in the *** to get the wires into :blink:

It's hard to tell but maybe there was just one little wire strand touching each other in there.

So i will re-do the connections and seal all the wiring splices heavy duty.

At least i can remove the top box and repair it and still ride the bike
