Sorry about the previous post. Looks like the pics did not upload correctly. Here are the pics of the fuse box in case anyone needs them for future reference:

Thanks, Doc! That could come in handy

The pigtail I plugged into was 14 ga if I remember correctly---it appears to be made specificly for the power port. However, I do not know what else is on the circuit that is marked "assy".

I can only *hope* that BikeMP3 did their homework before recommending a 10A fuse upgrade; I'm only throwing up the CAUTION sign... but I know you're already aware. No offense to you or BikeMP3 intended.

No offense taken, George. I am trying to understand why the change in fuse if there is already a 3 amp inline fuse between the plug and the fuse box. Unless the 5 amp is there because the pigtail is not in use and the other items are a low draw that are already on the circuit. I am very curious what else in use is on that same circuit.

I am guessing the other (bottom) acc fuse is for the heated grips or fog lights as I don't see it listed on the fuse panel and it is 10n amp already which sounds about right for the grips. One thing I do miss about the Victory forums is they had a ton of techs that knew this stuff inside and out and were there on the spot with an answer to all your maintenance questions.

Doh!!!! I plugged in an air compressor and blew the fuse for my 12v accessory plug! I checked the fuse panel and found that all of the fuses were intact. I then did a search and found this thread that mentions the inline glass fuse.

Where can I get a replacement inline fuse? Is this a dealer only item? Will I have to re-buy the whole assembly?

Also, is it necessary to remove the side trim to get the cubby out and gain access to the fuse?

Thanks!

I guess I am the only person with these instructions?

The size of the wire is not a problem. The pigtail that plugs into the lighter is more than heavy enough. I went looking for an inline fuse and could not find it on my bike. The pigtail on mine disappears into a group of wires in a harness with no fuse to be found. I don't know.

I will say this, if you blew a fuse with just a phone plugged in, it sounds like a short somewhere. They don't pull that much current.

Does the Big bike accessory socket come with a cig lighter element to accually light a cigarette? Just a guess but that may be why they tell you to change the fuse to a 10amp. I bought a powerlet brand , came with corect terminal for the B, but no change to fuse. Also says not to use a lighter element.

So... has anyone ever replaced the inline 3A glass tube fuse for the OEM 12v power plug? Where can the fuse be purchased?

I replaced the fuse a few weeks ago. The fuse can be had at radioshack , or any parts store.
