Keeps blowing 10 amp instrement panel fuse 4 Months, 1 Week ago  
Getting ready to go to star days and I have blown 2 10 amp fuses that control the speedo, gas gauge and turn signals. Cant go unless fixed. All bike shops are closed today. I need help. Thanks

sounds like you have a dead short somewhere, look for pinched wires or skinned wires.

No I havent. Do I pull the lense off or go into the switch?

Check for bare wires somewhere. Have you had the seat off lately? The rear turn signal wires run along the frame under the seat pan. Have you made any changes to the electrical system lately if so recheck wiring.

Hope you get on the road

I had a similar issue and it turned out to be the wiring for the light bar. The dealer had to completely rewire the light bar making sure to add extra protection with either tape or grommets.

The color code is brown for LH turn, green for RH turn,blue for running lights, and black for ground. In the headlight bucket are plugs for the other front end lights. Take the headlight out and unplug the plugs behind it that have the color wires in them; with a new fuse turn the power on and see what happens. If it blows the fuse then the problem is not in the front end. If the fuse does not blow then plug things back in one at a time untill it blows; whatever made it blow is where the problem is. If the problem isn't in the front than remove the seat and (under your left hip pocket when you sit on it) there is a plug for all the rear end wires unplug it and see what happens. If the fuse blows with both ends unplugged then the problem is in the main harness. When you unplug something and the fues doesn't blow or if you plug something in and it does blow then you are tracking the problem down! Good luck

Thanks to all. After checking every thing I put new fuse in and went on a test ride. Using turn signals, honking horn, hitting the brakes flashing brights to dim and fuse held up. Good thing I live on a county rode, no telling what kind of response of would have got the general traffic. I guess I will stop by the Dealer on the way out of town in the and see what he says. See ya at star. Oh I got a pack of 10 amp fuses just in case.
