If you replaced the fuse, did the new one blow too? Any idea what caused it to blow originally? Have you made any changes on your bike that involved wiring, or do any work close to wires? You need to post more info.

Look up under the rear fender to see if the tire rubbed through the wiring harness. Very common problem.

Thanks for the post, now to answer your questions. I have just changed the head light on my 08 flhtp and added a battery tender plug to battery terminals.

New fuse blows when I turn on blinker left side, blinker stays on until I turn off keyed switch. I took outer faring off put in new head light and tightened screw to keep glove in place. My flhtp does not have a radio.

Disconnect the plug in the harness that goes to the rear lights that is under the seat where it goes through the rear fender and replace the blown fuse and see if it blows again when you turn on the blinkers.
