I think I f'ed up
 
I went to go start the bike and it was dead. Why, I don't know cause I just rode it 2 days ago. So I went to jump it and accidentally put the cables on backwards. Now I don't hear the hum of the fuel pump when I hit the run switch. It's a T-max. Is there a fuse or anything? I'm really upset because i have to leave on Tuesday for a month for training and was hoping to ride this last weekend. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

Hey buddy,
we've all done dum things once and a while. I'm not sure why your bike was low on charge, but yes there is a fuse box under the seat, beside the battery. Do you have a harley repair manual? If not you should at least have gotten an owners manual with the bike. Check themanual for electrical protection. There is a fuse specifically for the fuel pump. Visually check all the fuses. Most are 15 amp pop out fuses.

Hopefully you havent damaged the battery. Good luck and i'm sure someone with more know how will post here to help you out.

And i wouldnt buy anything but a Harley !

cheers.

Have you reversed the cables and tried to start? If it didn't start, check your main fuse and sub-fuses. After that I don't know what kind of damage could have been done.

I checked the fuses under the seat. All good. I was hoping that there was one on the T-max.[:@] Man am I mad... I can't believe that I did that. Was too much in a hurry. I think it might be the ecm.

Mine has one main fuse for the whole bike. should be next to the smaller fuses. Are you getting any sort of lights or sounds?
