Thanks for the video. I went through dozens of Harley forums just trying to figure out where the fuses were located. They all said they were in that little panel behind the battery, but didn't explain that you had to actually pull out that set of wires to get to them, so I was completely stumped. Thanks again for taking the time to upload this walkthrough.
Thank you very much for the video. Got on my Sportster today, 08.30.2014, stopped for gas and had a blue light come on. When I arrived at my destination. There wasn't running lights etc. Without my repair manual, which would have been incorrect. Finding the fuses would have been difficult. I am so very happy you posted this video. Thank you again. Sheilah Say
this Vid just saved me, 3 hours from home on a new to me sportster and the indicators, tach Speedo etc all goes out. the local Harley dealership didn't even know what a fuse was! managed to get some and do it myself. thank you
I'm glad I found this video. I was trying to decide where I should wire in a switch so I can shut the lights off in case the alternator fails on my 2002 1200 custom. The wires can easily hook up by the fuse. Now I can add a toggle switch somewhere. I also am not impressed with a lot of things on this scooter and find that my 1973 Sportster is much easier and simpler to work on. None of this damn electronic and pollution junk on that bike. The early Harley's use Chevrolet points that you still can buy anywhere. Even my 1979 Superglde is easier to maintain. It has electronic ignition but I have always had a points conversion in my saddle bag so it can be fixed anywhere. 103,000 miles and still going. Good luck with the new Harley's with damn fuel injection trying to get 37 years of use before parts go obsolete. Good video!!!!,,
@kenny lavay. I'm glad that someone else besides me knows the benefit of simpler is better. So many gullibles think that computerized fool infection is better forgetting that fixing them is much harder and costly.
I thank you for your video. I too read the manual and it said it was under the seat. I couldn't find it till I watched your video. I also miss my Yamaha.
Thanks very much,as i currently have a starting issue with my 1995 Sportster.When i press the start button,just hear the battery "crank" sounds with no starter engagment. Might be time to preplace the starter,but will change out the $20.00 coil first and go through the fuses.-thanks very much,Joe in Middletown,De.-
My fuses are behind the Battery cover on the right end facing you. You don't take anything out except the fuse and it has six. The one on the top is the turn, horn and brake. This is a 2006 883c. Also there is a 30 amp in a separate holder that hangs on a post to the left with2 wires coming out. Slide to the right and pull out to remove it off the post and squeeze the plastic locks together to remove the cover and you will see the 30 amp fuse. I believe this is the main fuse.
i thought the fuses was in that location and i looked but didnt realise that you had to slide them out. thanks a million. now just gotta figure out why its blowing fuses just by turning on the ignition
I popped my side cover off there was a little black box but it was sealed and a different style, my sporty is a 94 , one thing alot of people forget to mention is what year bike they have
My speedometer, gear indicater, and auto shut off for turn signals is shorted, mine is 2014 sportster 1200c slightly different but close enough to yours for me to work it out from there, thanks much.
sporster has modular one piece engine and trans.countershaft gear is on the right side.so the design does not share any full size harley parts.the clutch adjustment is on handle bars like every bike, the inside is a lock screw and shouldnt touch after istall. fuse puller tool and spares are in snap off fuse box.you didnt need to remove the cover and the battery location is stock.the fact that you trouble finding fuses on a bike tells alot.fuses are always near source of power there for not leaving leads live.
The fuses from top to bottom (once you see this awesome.video and know where to locate the $!#^$*&!'s...) #1 IGN (ignition) #2 INSTR (instruments) #3 LIGHTS #4 ACCY (accessory) I got this out of a shop Manuel ignition system schematic ...it was the only reasons I knew there were fuses hiding somewhere after replacing the 30am CB ( and testing my day maker , the plug and wires... lol! )
hey thanks alot for this video funny i did the same thing you did changed rear turn signals and grounded out stupid me. but thanks for video you saved me some time
i`ve got a 1998 xl 1200 custom sportster all four indicators don`t work. headlight works tail light works but not indicators. any clue? all help very gratefully received.
I'm having the exact same issue but on a 92' Evo 1200...changed my bars, careful of the wiring, and no headlight tail light or running lights - only thing is that the 92' only has breakers and no fuses :/
Always that one hero that comes to the rescue when all hope seems lost!
Hahaha I knew I'd found the right video for my problem when it started with "so I smoked a joint and fucked up"

You don't need to unscrew the cover from the unit. Just pull on the cover and hey presto. You can get to fuses at the roadside without a screwdriver
This is why the comments are just as important as the video! Thank you for your enlightenment. You’re a good man!

THANK YOU! I was stoned too and could NOT get my head wrapped around this fix😂

The same goes for vehicles with all the electronic computerized bull shit. go back to hi energy ignitions. in bikes also.

Love the commentary and honesty. Thanks for the help.
I had to get high just to find your channel. This was exactly what I needed and I appreciate it. Thumbs up on the video bro.👍
Yes. Super helpful. I had the same problem, question and misguidance from manuals. Thanks.

Perfect man absolutely perfect thank you so much. This is so helpful.
Dude, I just had the exact problem, couldn't find the fuses anywhere. Thanks for the video!

También lo tendrá una 1999
thanks--very simple and informative video. it fixed my 2002 HD sportster
This video is 100% correct. Same problem, same fuse on mine, a 2001. Thanks!
Mine is the first fuse blowing with the two big wires what is that fuse for
@@fallingangel2864 same problem ever figure out what it was?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I had this exact problem. You saved me so much time and money.
Thanks ...straight and to the point, no bullshit finally!
Thanks I had trouble finding them
thank you very much , spent ages looking for fuse box. if i could buy a beer i would
Thank you for this kick ass video. It saved me and my uncle lots of time
i thought the fuses was in that location and i looked but didnt realise that you had to slide them out. thanks a million. now just gotta figure out why its blowing fuses just by turning on the ignition
It blows when it has a short in the wire touching ground. I would check either end of the wire starting at the light.
Best Harley video on CZcams
Thank you for showing us this. I could not find it for the life of me.
I had no idea I pulled out of the sleeve.thank for vid dude
Thank so you much. I was reading my Haynes manual and could not follow how to find these fuses
Thanks buddy! This fixed my 99 also, never would have found those fuses.
Thank you so much for sharing! Very informative as we had the same issue!!!!!!
My hero! I really appreciate your videos
Thanks for the help
When I try to do something productive after smoking a joint something usually goes wrong for me too lol
Well, I guess I'll start putting my motor, forks and swingarm back on. I was hell bent on finding it.

Big help! Thanx, man...
Ha same thing happened to me! Solves that problem
Thank you 👍
Thanks a lot man I needed that I didn't burn it but the fuse was blown
My speedometer, gear indicater, and auto shut off for turn signals is shorted, mine is 2014 sportster 1200c slightly different but close enough to yours for me to work it out from there, thanks much.
Your'e my hero
the fuses are behind what's called the tri-angle which snaps in no need to pull the screws out! just a light pry and it pops out!!!
Not on older Sportsters like mine from 1991
Thanks so much dude.. It helps me a lot..!!!
sporster has modular one piece engine and trans.countershaft gear is on the right side.so the design does not share any full size harley parts.the clutch adjustment is on handle bars like every bike, the inside is a lock screw and shouldnt touch after istall. fuse puller tool and spares are in snap off fuse box.you didnt need to remove the cover and the battery location is stock.the fact that you trouble finding fuses on a bike tells alot.fuses are always near source of power there for not leaving leads live.
PERFECT MY MAN.....
Hi. Thanks for the video. Question. On a 73 ironhead XLCH...Does it have fuses? I cannot get spark. I can't find any fuses. Thank you.

I believe that's the correct position of the battery

Thank You! I made the same mistake! I think I invented several new swear words trying to find those !#$*$!# fuses!
Thank you
Ha ha very well put / all true
All I'm going to say is me too 😅😅😅😅
As soon as he said fuck I was high and I shorted Out my lights. And at that moment I knew I did the exact same thing
The fuses from top to bottom (once you see this awesome.video and know where to locate the $!#^$*&!'s...) #1 IGN (ignition) #2 INSTR (instruments) #3 LIGHTS #4 ACCY (accessory) I got this out of a shop Manuel ignition system schematic ...it was the only reasons I knew there were fuses hiding somewhere after replacing the 30am CB ( and testing my day maker , the plug and wires... lol! )

Next to the battery.
Where did you put your horn? :)
Can you remember which size/length of cables you put on, the yellow ones, they look good :)
I'm having the exact same issue but on a 92' Evo 1200...changed my bars, careful of the wiring, and no headlight tail light or running lights - only thing is that the 92' only has breakers and no fuses :/
Same problem with me.....only my 93. Cant figure it out. Did you have any luck??
Same with my bike. I have NO fuses. Have you fix yours?? Did u replace you the breakers??? What did u do??
Where is the main fuse? Is that it just to the right of the fuse box?
👍
Which fuse is for the turn signals?
if u dont even know the battery belongs there i know why you have questions about the fuses
Anyone know how the fuse connectors come out? Where exactly the tab is?
