I have a 2000 heritage softail and the other day when i was riding it it just died. I towed it home, got a new battery, fuses, and terminals. I installed the new battery and the accessory fuse that was blown. I checked all the wires i can see but none looked cut or exposed at all. I tried starting my bike and that same fuse popped and the bike turned but didnt start. I have no headlight(but the high beams work), no turn signal, and no horn.So im wondering why my bike wont start, and why my accessory fuse keeps blowing. Any ideas anyone?
I know this sounds aomewhat general, however please give the following some thought:
Check your relays, if you have an aftermarket horn you may have a different relay. To troubleshoot unplug your headlight, unplug your horn, etc.. Turn your ignition switch to accessory only. See if the fuse pops. If it does unplug whatever added accessories you may have still have plugged in. Once you can get the fuse to stop popping, turn the ignition switch to on. Then one at a time plug you accessory, headlight, etc. back in. When you find what pops the fuse, unplug that item, start plugging in the other items, if the fuse has not popped you have potentially isolated the circuit causing the issue. Now check the wiring for loose connections, bad ground, and CHECK the relay if that item has one. Hope this helps,
