Hey @MURPHCC1 ,
I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but i promise it is to help get to the root cause of the issue.
Is your bike or has your bike ever been lowered?
I ask because many times the rear harness gets burned through by the rear tire and it goes totally unnoticed until there is some sort of unexplained failure with the rear lights and/or fuses.
Just trying to eliminate possible causes.
I'm also confused about your issue because it isn't clear which fuse blows...
According to the manual, fuse #3 is for lighting (15A) & fuse #5 is for brakes (15A)
Maybe you've already specified which one is giving you trouble, but my thick head isn't following the story very well and with just a single fuse blowing, you should not lose your brake lights AND your other lights (turns and running lights).

Slowing down?
Using the cruise?
Using the Blinkahs?
You're in the Cape which is part of Mass.
And no one uses Blinkahs in Mass.[/QUOTE]
I dont know exactly when it blew, I was on the highway about 70 miles from home heading to Texas. Taking a turn and I USED MY BLINKAHS, but they weren't showing that they worked on the dash, so pulled over into a gas station and checked it out.

Fuse #2B-A.
I have used the lowered shocks from PROGRESSIVE in the past.
Gonna have to give it a good when I get back sometime in Dec-Jan.

It's not a guarantee, but if the bike was ever lowered, that damned wire harness under the rear fender is where I would start looking.
If you're lucky, you may be able to see up in there by disconnecting the lower shock bolts and lifting it up to allow the swingarm to drop, but you'll definitely need to remove the rear wheel in order to fix it if that's where the problem is.

Led front turn signals
Little bit of topic but which led turn signals y'all recommend for the front on a 2005 flhtcui? I have led for the rears already but I tried a couple of cheap ebay ones for the front and none of the fit on the front housing
