Blowing Fuses!
Lately my '07 675 can't hold a fuse for the parking lights/rear brake light/tag light. At first I thought it occurred when my fan came on during hot days here in Florida. But I took it out last night, it was very cool outside and the fan never kicked in. 10 minutes into the ride, I noticed my brake light and tag light were out. This is the 3rd fuse in as many rides. It's the 5 amp, #3 auxiliary lights fuse.

Any theories out there on why this is happening?????

Thanks in advance for your help!

Might want to check the wiring running from the tail light to under the seat. Make sure nothing is rubbing or burnt that left exposed wire. Something quick and easy to check anyway.

Pretty much the same thing... use a multimeter and make sure there is no grounding in the tail section.

What these guys have said...it has to be an exposed wire somewhere. Those gremlins suck. Good luck finding it.
