    Help - Left Pocket Power Outlet not working

    I installed the Honda accessory power outlet in the front left fairing pocket last year. It worked fine until this past weekend. Before I remove the Baker Wings and the trim strip and the fairing pocket to check the connection, can someone tell me where the fuse is for this thing? I figure it would be smart to start at the fuse.

    Thank you ahead of time.

    So now that I think about it, the fuse panel is under the right side fairing... (Correct?) So either way I am going to have to remove the Baker wings.

    Also, This is the Hondaline accessory outlet. can anyone remember if there was an in-line fuse on it? If so, I might start there thinking it would be designed to blow first.

    Just installed mine Friday

    I thought it was marked "assy"-- 2nd from the top left hand side of the fuse box. Instructions on the plug say to change out the 5 amp with a 10 amp fuse. Sitting on the bike, the fuse box is on the left side of the bike behind the side panel. I may be wrong..............Somebody let me know if I am casue I switched the wrong fuse.

    I just read the installation instructions again and there is an in-line 3a fuse. Looks llike I'll start there. Anyone else have this fuse go?

    I am confused which or what 5amp fuse you might have changed to a 10amp ? If you might be talking about the outlet the OP is referring too I don't think the wiring is heavy enough to support a 10amp draw. And yes the fuse panel is on the left side cover when left is referred to sitting on the bike. IMHO I wouldn't be changing ANY fuse from what Honda recommend, especially doubling the amps ie going from a 5 to a 10amp !

    When I installed the Honda OEM accessory plug I got the bright idea to try my CyclePump compressor on it and sure enough it blew that little fuse. Don't use it for anything too demanding. CyclePump works fine on battery tender plug.

    All I had was a micro USB cell phone charging cable plugged in. Draw is 2.1A max.
