3 fuses under my 1990 FLHTCU.

1 amp CB Mem
2 amp CB Power
5 amp POD

What the heck does POD stand for? Mine was blown. I replaced it and it doesn't seem to effect anything.

My guess is "power on demand", maybe for auxillary switches?

The only time I've seen it is when it refers to the CB port.

Could be "Pre Operation Diagnostics". The run up procedure your electronics go through prior to starting/running.

Given the context, it refers to the headset connector and harness in your tank console.

Could it be a euphemism for cigarette lighter?

thats the plug in for turning your bike into a POD racer so you can enter it in the race on Bunta eve on Tatooine and go up against sebulba and Anikan skywalker.
