Topic: Chasing the fuse blowing problem

[fmctm1sw]

I posted about my fuse blowing adventures a week or so ago.  Did it again on the way to my kid's recital...  Didn't make it.  I hooked my ammeter up to it and didn't see anything approaching 15 amps.  Charging voltage was about 14.5VDC.  I then remembered that my high beam light was always on, I found that when I connected it I plugged it into the wrong connector in the headlight shell    I looked closely at my fuse holder.  While the center was clean (I wire brushed them a week ago), I notice the sides were crusty.  My battery terminals were the same way.  I cleaned them up good and we'll see if this makes a difference.  The next step is the buss fuse idea...

Order up a Higgins fuse box.  I installed one and haven't thought about fuses since!

Thanks, I've seen that fuse thread.  I just felt with only one fuse on my 350, it was overkill.  I completed a 50 mile (or so) ride today with no blown fuse.  Perhaps that clean up job did the trick.  Time will tell.

My 750 would blow about 1 fuse for every 15 hours of riding time, pretty predictably. It was the fuse clips, heating those fuses up and slowly melting them.

I think ev0lution is marketing some neat fuseboxes with labels, but they are multi-fuse type. They are blades. It would be sort of like having built-in spares?

Well, with only one fuse on the 350... I'd just switch it to a blade type fuse.
