Electrical problem

[RogueRanger]

Been a while since I've been on this forum, but I ran into a weird problem on my '02 1150 RT. It's something electrical, and I've checked the fuses, but nothing seems to be out of order.

 

I have no power to my auxiliary outlets (my heated jacket doesn't get power}, my windshield adjuster doesn't work, and my clock resets to 0:00 every time I turn off the bike. Like I said, I've checked the fuses and none of them appear to be burned out. Everything else works, and my bike still runs just fine, except for the three issues I mentioned.

 

Is there another fuse that I don't know about? Mechanically, I'm pretty much a retard, but I'd really appreciate any suggestions on this rather than spend the $80/hr the local shop is going to charge.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Morning Jeff

 

All those things that aren't working go through fuse #3. (that is 3rd fuse in from the shifter side of the bike).

 

So first thing, REPLACE fuse #3-- fuses can look good but be failed inside so either replace it or remove the fuse & test it for continuity with an ohm meter.

 

If the fuse is OK then look for a broken large red wire going to te battery (+) post.

 

If it isn't bad fuse or a wire connection at the battery (+) post then you will probably have to trace the fuse #3 (B+) feed wire. So start at the fuse with a 12v test light & work your way towards the battery + post. (DON'T poke holes in the wire insulation with the test light stinger to test as that brings on future problems)

Thanks for the insight. I'll get back into it today and let you know if I'm able to solve it with a fuse.

D.R. - you nailed it. I replaced the fuse and everything is working just fine. Huge Thanks.
