Title: lost my lights, horn, and directionals on ride to work today
Post by: airbounce on May 16, 2016, 06:49:20 PM

Just asking for any troubleshooting tips when I get home tonight and start dealing with this. Bike ran fine but seemingly lost all electric systems. Dealer is far and hoping it's a fuse or something I can fix. Looking for guidance.

Check your DC/DC fuse.

thanks, will do. I hope it's obvious if no good. Have never had to replace any fuses yet.

There is one fuse that protects each system you described, that is the likely culprit.  When I lost my directionals and four-way flashers I knew it WASN'T the fuse because the horn and brake light still worked.  :)

Hi there, Similar problem - BUT -  have a 2015FX and the 12V system only works when temp is above 70F in the garage.  Then, upon startup, all 12V items (headlights, indicator, horn and ABS) all work fine.  But, if the nighttime temp goes cold, and the garage temp is 60F or less, then the 12V stuff doesn't turn on.  Could this still be a fuse, or something else?

Thx,
Phil

Hello,

I am posting a link to my video with a very specific time stamp that may help you locate the fusebox and the labels for the fuses. I believe my sticker was "reversed" or I was "reading it backwards" so be wary of that when viewing your fuse layout.

Thanks,
