A 1992 Heritage doesn't have fuses, they have circuit breakers from the factory. A circuit breaker is looks like a small metal container that is about about a half inch tall and wide and about an inch long. It works like a fuse in that execessive current will trip the circuit breaker just like the ones in your house but as soon as the bi-metal strip inside of it cools, it will reset itself until the next time the current level is exceeded. The current level is determined by the currrent handling capability of the wire in the circuit it is controlling.

Now, the Heritage was notorious of blowing the filaments in the rear tail light bulb. Have you tried a new bulb in it. If that's not what it is, you'll need a test light or a DVOM (digital volt ohm meter) and a schematic to trace out the problem.

The horn is probably not on the same circuit as the tail light. Use the test light or DVOM to check for voltage at the plug on the horn. It's probably got a bad ground or just the horn itself is bad.

Good Luck

    If there are no fuses, then how do you add stuff? Like a radio or cig lighter?

Harley softail no start, no headlights, no dash lights

Okay first, check the Batt cables for broken or loose connection!
Then check the fuse's box under the seat for a blow fuse ...
Then I suggest to check the cable from the Batt to the starter.!

HORN NOT WORKING ON A 1999 HERITAGE SOFTAIL CLASSIC NO POWER TO WIRES,IS THERE A FUSE PANEL UNDER THE SEAT

Yes, there is a fuse panel on the bike but I think that it's on the rear fender extension on that model. But, from what you are saying, it might not be the fuse. The horn is on a fused circuit with some other stuff as well. You do not have a single fuse dedicated to only the horn. Unlike a car, there isn't enough room on a motorcycle for this. The fuse that controls the horn controls other things as well and it everything else is working, then it's not the fuse. I'd test the wire at it's other end, the horn button. When you press the button, the wire to the horn goes "hot". Years ago, the wire going to the horn was "hot" all the time and when you pressed the button, you completed the circuit to ground. It was learned that any short in the horn wire would blow a fuse or discharge the battery so the design was changed. This was way back when the bikes were powered by a 6 volt system. Take the left handle switch housing apart and check the switch.

Good Luck

Accessory fuse keeps blowing, headlight not working

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,

JP
