K75S accessory socket dead

[Dave Labrecque]

Went to hook up my charger via my newly-acquired accessory plug and -- nuthin'. Turns out the socket is dead. Do I understand right that there's a fuse? Whereabouts?

 

Thanks.

Make sure polarity is correct on your new acc cord.

Thanks. Yeah, I saw that. I wasn't real clear on the explanation, though. Talks about lifting the seat, but then it sounds like it's on the side of the bike. Maybe I should just poke around on the bike a bit.

Fuse is in the line to the battery positive

Dave:

 

On my K75RT, the fuse box is on the left side, about even with the trailing fuel tank edge. Runs vertically. On my bike, there's a separate fuze (I think either 7.5 or 10 A) for access socket(s). Access sockets are on left side coil cover, and probably right side of handlebars. Both are on the same fuze. Hope this helps.
