Default 2016 Sportster 883 - 10a Fuse Blowing

Hey All,

So here is the back story and maybe it will help with what I am experiencing now. I have a 2016 Sportster. I have a fuel programmer and one day i noticed my red light came on. I pulled over and the code said my front brake switch is stuck. I looked behind and sure enough, they were. I found if i flicked it a couple of times it would go off. I have since only used the rear brakes instead. I called Harley in town and they said that it may or may not be covered under warranty. I wish i had more of a definite answer than that. I rode the bike to work today and it was fine, time to leave and wont start. I then look at my fuse box and see my 10a battery fuse is blown. I replace it 5 times and its constantly blowing. Is it possible that my brake switch is the cause of this somehow. I am taking it to the shop tomorrow, but i was hoping for a good place to start since shop hours cost money. I am just at a loss of what to do.

Thanks, in advance.

Your front brake is working, right ? if yes, disconnect the switch and replace the fuse again. If eveything stays fine you now that it is a faulty switch.
