Changed the battery on my 03 fxd. The old battery tried to fire it up but didnt quite have enough juice so i just went ahead and replaced it. Now after its hooked up everytime i hit the start button it blows this fuse in the picture. The lights come on and everything but it blows this fuse when i try and start it. Any ideas? Ive checked for pinched wires and nothing. Its the bottom middle fuse.

You may have a short in your starter or a switch some were i would get those areas first blowing fuses is not good take your time and fine it.

Gotta look at the wiring schematic to what that fuse covers. Pretty sure my 99 didn't have that fuse panel.

On the back of the panel you removed to reach the fuses it tells you what each fuse is for.

Is there any chance you put the new battery in backwards? (Or the posts are on the opposite sides?)

That's the ignition fuse, go back to the last task you did, changing the battery. Are the cables on the correct battery terminals? Are all the parts correctly reinstalled, plastic cover covering the cables on the battery?
