2022 Himalayan - Fuse F4 - Signalling - 15 Amp - Blowing

[hernanlusin]

On my run down to the Chunnel on the M20, I noticed that all the instrument cluster was dead, along with the horn, fuel gauge, time, speed, rev counter and turn indicators. In short, nothing was working or displayed. The bike though was running normally.

The 15 amp fuse F4 ‘signalling’ had blown.

I can restart the bike sometimes with the fuse blown, with the bike in neutral but only with the clutch lever pulled in. I guess this is because the starter is not receiving a ‘neutral’ signal as the instrument cluster is dead?

I changed the F4 fuse, the instrument cluster lit up as normal. I rode about 10 yards and the instrument cluster failed again, due to the F4 fuse blowing again.

I changed the fuse again, with the same result. Within 10 yards it blew again.

I did though notice that over the 10 yards before the fuse blew, the orange engine warning light stayed on.

I have checked as much of the wiring as I can see up at the headstock end. I cannot see any chafed wires.

Something is shorting, the fuse blowing as a consequence. I cannot understand what though. Nor can I understand why the orange engine warning light seems to stay on. I am guessing that this might be linked or not? What in the engine management system might cause the instrument / horn / turn indicator fuse to blow?

Fuse problems with a RE ?

Do what the Indians would do and bung some 30amp tin foil in

For the life of me I fail to see how a high resistance ground, or any other connection, will lead to a blown fuse ?

Higher resistance = less current not more.

A circuit may not work but its supplying fuse won't blow.

With me, it was the horn that had come loose, shorting out on the exhaust.
