12V power outlet

[AlEverett]

Just got my recent service bulletin update of BUDS and fuse box. While they were in there I asked the technician to move the #6 fuse to the #7 spot to make the 12V outlet hot all the time. On my 2013 RT-S there was no fuse in the #6 spot, in fact when he had the box moved to do the seal repair, there are no wires going to the #6 fuse location. Had a fuse in #7 so I assumed the problem was taken care of. Got home and checked the 12V and is only hot when ignition on. They are going to call BRP on Tues to find out what gives but I wondered if anyone else has an answer to this dilemma.

I have always been leery of circuits where you choose the function by placing a fuse in one slot or the other. What happens if you put fuses in both slots? What happens if they are not the same values? The only safe way for this approach to work is to have a fuse location with three terminals. You place the fuse to one side for one function, and to the other side for the alternate. The fuse itself prevents using both circuits at once. Perhaps they had problems and changed this during the production run? :dontknow: Let us know what they say.

Al, I tried to swap the fuses on my 2013 and it didn't make the 12volt hot.

Works just fine on my ST and it has the identical wiring harness as the RT. By the way if you have the optional outlet in the front it is the same fuse as the rear one.

Got mine in July. I will repost the response from BRP when I hear back on Tues. Seems like some of the 2013 it works and others it doesn't.

Were you able to check to see if the #6 fuse spot had anything hooked up to it and when did you buy your bike?

You put the fuse into #7, right? If so, and the accessory plug in the trunk, front one too if you have one, isn't hot then you have a bad fuse or a bad harness connection. There are only three connections between the fuse and the plug, the one at the fuse box, the cargo interconnector, and the one on the plug. If the plug is hot with the fuse in 6 and the key on, then the problem is at the fuse box, or maybe the junction in the harness.

I have an early 2013 RT Limited and moving the fuse worked to make the rear plug hot at all times. Just like the owners manual said.
