Title: Help: 20amp fuse keeps blowing Post by superior on 06/28/09 at 15:02:52 I was riding earlier today and the Savage was running great! all of the sudden while I was riding the bike shutdown & had no electrical power and the engine shut-down. I noticed that one of the (yellow) 20-amp fuses below the right side of the seat was blown. I walked to a auto-parts store, got a new 20 amp fuse and put it in. I turned on the ignition key and there there was no response (completley dead). I looked at the fuse and the new fuse was blown immediatley. Any ideas on correcting this problem. It seems as if something is shorting out? and blowing the 20 amp fuse? |

Wires look good, not sure why this is causing the 20-amp fuse to blow? I have gone through 4 new fuses so far. As soon as i turn the key to the on position (the fuse immediatley blows)? wonder why this is? ANY IDEAS? |

Title: Re: Help: 20amp fuse keeps blowing Post by serowbot on 06/28/09 at 16:49:08 You have a short somewhere... I can't find it, but somebody here posted a great way to find a short with a test light. Hope they spot your post. In the meantime, don't wast your time blowing any more fuses, and definitely don't bypass the fuse or you'll burn up the wiring harness. Try some searches here, and check back to see if someone replies. Sorry I'm not more help. Wiring shorts give me fits... :-? |

Thanks for referencing that post! I was able to check the wires, replace the + battery cable, replaced the fuse and it fixed the problem. |
