VRSC models have a rear fuse block under the seat and a front fuse block behind the steering head under the right side cover.
For electrical problems, it is best to see a Harley-Davidson dealer who has the necessary parts and equipment to perform electrical services.
Fuses do not reset. A blown fuse must be replaced with a fuse of the same rating.
NOTE
Use only automotive type ATO fuses as replacements.
