Default 05 FLSTN with no power.

Had a low battery last week. Put on a HD battery tender and nothing. Checked the fuses on the leads-blown. Weird. Check tender leads to Battery. Blown. Main Battery is at 13.6v. That's good.
My read is I blew a Main Fuse. Well ., before I tear it all apart, can someone tell me where it's located? My 2014 Ultra is easy to find, but I best ask stupid questions to be sure.
thanks.

Not sure exactly if I understand what your saying but all the relays and fuses are under the seat. Now there is some breakers under the black plastic cover in front of the rear wheel.

You should figure out what caused those fuses to blow, and make sure that issue is corrected...


First picture:
The fuse block (#42) is under the seat, forward of the rear fender. It has a couple 15a fuses (#39), and a starter micro-relay w/diode (#2).

Second picture:
The main fuse, however, is a 30 amp, auto resetting circuit breaker (#32). It should auto reset when tripped, if the condition that tripped it is corrected.
At 18 years old, I guess it could also fail.
Because it is auto resetting, it is not as easy to get to as the fuse block. It is on the aft side of the electrical caddy, forward of the rear tire, protected by a plastic cover between the caddy and the rear wheel. It can be a little tricky to get to, with the rear tire in place. With the rear tire removed, it can be wide open and easy to deal with.
