Fuse Replacement
NOTICE
Always use replacement fuses that are of the correct type and amperage rating. Use of incorrect fuses can result in damage to electrical systems. (00222a)
See Figure 1. The fuse block is located behind the left side cover.
If replacing a fuse does not correct the problem, or if a fuse is repeatedly blown, see a Harley-Davidson dealer to diagnose any possible electrical problems.
  1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
  2. Open left side cover. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Left Side Cover.
  3. See Figure 1. Push tab to release the fuse block cover.
  4. See Figure 2. Remove the suspect fuse and inspect the element.
  5. If the element is burned or separated, replace the fuse with a properly rated automotive type ATO fuse.
  6. Align fuse block cover with retaining guide. Slide the fuse block cover until tab latches.
  7. Close left side cover.
Main Fuse
See Figure 3. The 30 amp main fuse can be removed to disconnect power from the motorcycle's entire electrical system (except starter motor/solenoid). The main fuse is located behind the left side cover.
To prevent the security system siren from sounding (if equipped), turn the ignition switch ON with the hands-free fob present to disarm the security system before removing the main fuse.
To remove, grasp the fuse holder in one hand and the plastic body of the main fuse in the other. Pull the main fuse straight out of the fuse holder.
