[QUOTE="kaitsdad, post: 493199, member: 1222"] Accessory outlet is fused at 3 amps. Way undersized for a pump. Your pump probably has an in-line fuse already, disassemble the plug to find it. That is the fuse amperage you'll need to use in the future. The accessory socket is not wired to support a draw larger than 3 amps, do NOT install a higher amperage fuse in order to use with a pump - you'll risk melting the wires. You'll need to install a socket wired and fused appropriately in order to use your pump. The acc socket is switched, and no, you don't have to shut everything down when turning off the bike. I've seen 'multipliers' used which allow two or three devices to power via the socket, just be sure that your total amperage draw does not exceed the rating on the socket. [/QUOTE]
