OP, that would be the person that started this thread. Take it east and type slowly, so that us old farts can understand. And please use proper punctuation as it is easier for those of us that grew up some decades ago. We really would like to help you. Best of luck and stick around as we all learn things here. Also grow thick skin as some of us can be ornery and contrary when the mood strikes, or if we just had a bad day, maybe the ED ran out or any one of a thousand reasons....

What were the events leading up to the blown fuse(s) ?

Handlebar change ?
Grip install ?
Lowering kit ?
Heated grip install ?
Paint swap/install ?


Check tail light wiring harness under the rear fender for rubbing
Check handlebar wiring for pinched wires
Check brake light wiring for pinched or rubbed wires , look at rear brake light switch

This is quoted from another post he made abut his problem (I added punctuation to make it easier to read). I'm no electrical wizard so I'll let those in attendance tackle it.

I had an '07 ultra. Plugged in something to the cigarette lighter that blew the AC fuse and also lost my brake light. Would have thought those would be on separate circuits, If you are blowing fuses, then you have a short to ground somewhere. those can be a bitch to find!

Simple you have a wire intermittently grounding out, start looking and check all your grounds.
