Keep blowing a fuse (Read 77 times)

oldskoolsoldier YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 9	Keep blowing a fuse 10/20/16 at 11:14:56 My Savage keeps blowing a fuse. I rode a mile down the road on Sunday and suddenly I blew a fuse and had to push it back. I replaced the fuse today, took it for a test ride, didn't even make it half a mile and blew the fuse again. I'm not very savvy on electrical issues. Any suggestions/thoughts?

What, if anything , have you done to the bike lately before this started? Initial thoughts would be to look for loose or rubbing wires that are exposed and shorting out somewhere?

Are you capable of removing the tank and checking all of the harness connections under there?

Others with more "electrical" insight will be along shortly Wink

It's a small hole with no grommet and the wiring will handle a direct short w/out burning up. If that's not it, disconnect the headlight to save your battery.
