battery tender circuit
nevermind, got it. thanks
2 questions:
1. How do you remove the fuse cover? see pic
2. I may have shorted the battery tender circuit and want to check the fuses/relays. Which fuse/relay monitors the battery tender charge circuit?
Thanks

I don't have a Rushmore, but the fuse box cover should either just pull off or have a small clip on either side. I don't know what type of tender you have, but most have an inline fuse on the leads; has nothing to do with fuse box. Check the tender leads first before anything on the bike.

nevermind, got it. FYI, Battery tender circuit goes to 20 amp fuse on P&A circuit. I replaced fuse and now ok.
Lesson learned, I tried to get a battery draw test from the battery tender circuit ( yes I am a Dumb F+ck) and blew the fuse.
I checked shop manual circuit chart and showed the above , good charts in manual.

On the short sides of the cover, near the base are a couple of "ears". They need to be pinched in to release the clips that snap in to the base of the fuse box. Just pinch and pull off the cover.

The Rushmore bikes ship with a Tender lead that doesn't go directly to the battery like an aftermarket tender lead does.

According to the service manual the SAE connector should be clipped position under the left pannier.

That's a dealer-installed tender lead. The factory tender on the Rushmore touring bikes is under the left side cover. A lot of dealers don't even know this, so they install tender leads.
