2013 TrGlide. Reverse quit while backing up on small incline. I believe I popped the circuit breaker. Manual says the circuit breaker is located in the electrical caddy. Where is that located? The little picture diagram they show is no help. How do I access it?

Thanks for your help

 

The reset is behind the right side cover. You cant miss it after you pull the cover off.
It is a red lever, just push in till it locks in.
This is a common occurance with the HD electric reverse.

 

HD recommends you rev the engine up some to overcome the load on the battery the reverse motor creates.

 

I heard that and tried it .
Kept high rpms and tried to back up a short incline and it popped the breaker, reset it and tried again at normal idle with the same results at the same distance. you cant even get a running start cause it only goes slooooow.

 

I think the manual says that if you engage the brakes while backing up then the breaker will trip. I concentrate on taking my thumb off the button before braking. Do you think this may be the cause of your problems?

 

Just a quick heads up, on my 2011 Triglide the circuit breaker lever is grey. Icebite is correct, its hard to miss once you take the side cover off.

 

The gray lever is only for old guys- just kidding.
Didnt know they were any color but red, is gray on '11 up models ?

 

FWIW I think the reverse system is inconsistent, some folks have the breaker trip on slight inclines while others don't. I've backed up the 2010 I had 2 up with a loaded Aluma MCT trailer without tripping the breaker. I think the manufacturer Harley uses for the breaker must have poor QC, you just don't know how much load it will take before tripping. The 3 years I had my 10 I never tripped the breaker. When I 1st picked it up the salesman hit reverse with the parking break on and the breaker didn't trip.

 

Ditto Ms03. My 09 has never tripped, and I'm a BIG BOY.

 

I have also never tripped mine. Now that I have opened my big mouth it will trip.
