How to Check Breakers/Fuses?

[BillZ]

Hey Gents...

Still battling electrical problems with my 95 Low Rider. What is the procedure for checking the breakers/fuses? Also, with battery connected, I get a low voltage reading....like 10 volts. Frustration mounting!

Have you had the battery load tested?

No....bike is currently dead in my garage....waiting for new turn signal module and connectors to arrive.

Pull the fuse from it's holder. Put your meter test leads across the fuse tabs. If the display still says infinity "&" or reads 0 then the fuse is open (blown).

If the meter reading says a low number, most times less than 1 ohm (like 0.2 etc) then the fuse is good. If your meter has a continuity beeper, it will beep when you put it across the fuse.

Fuses are cheap, if any doubt with a fuse buy a new one.

When measured where. If directly at the battery posts, 1st charge and then load test the battery.
