Title: FUSE POPPING EIGER Post by: Grassman68 on October 04, 2006, 10:02:06 PM My eiger keeps blowing the ignition fuse.Could it be a bad relay? Should relay switches make noises and pops when starting bike? couldnt find any shorts in the wiring as far as i could see. any suggestions would be appreciated !! :F :F :F :F :F :F :F

Any mishaps or accidents prior to this happening? Stick or log or rock hit the machine, in the area of wiring, hard lately? Next time its idleing..start wiggleing the wire harness, is very small sections. If you can get the fuse to blow by wiggleing specific areas, then look for a wire with the insulation exposed to the frame or other ground.

Ill try the foot brake switch Uncle rico, thanks grassman :banghead.gif :banghead.gif :banghead.gif

It was grounding out of the switch and through the spring to the frame.I cant thank you enough i was racking my brain on this one. Any way enough but kissing have a good one. grassman
