Blowing fuse

[szohar]

Hi,

Since few days ago my Passenger and driver Heated Grip fuse is blowing off after the heated grip is on for some time, I did replace the fuse few times and it is still blowing the fuse.

I don't want to take it to the dealer even I still have the warranty, I always get stupid explanation from the dealer why the issue is not cover by the warranty, I am charged an expensive price and get the Spyder back with new scratches and damages.

Help will be greatly appreciated.

I had it happen once. Replacing the fuse cured it for me. A fuse circuit that continues to blow indicates some kind of electrical problem. The dealer should fix it under warranty. Tracking down electrical issues are never fun--but that's the dealers problem.

Keep us posted.

You need to take it to the dealer, whether you want to or not. Troubleshooting and replacing the front heated grips, rear grip assembly, or automatic suspension components (which are all on that fuse) or tracing an electrical short circuit is not a job for an average owner. You need to give your tech a chance. If he does not do you justice, contact BRP Customer Care and open a case file. That way they can get in touch with the dealer and give him some guidance.

The only likely candidate for your trouble is the heated grips unit.
If it was a bare wire rubbing somewhere then it would fire the fuse right away.

No easy fix really, they have to be replaced.

It does sound like the rear grips, but it could also be the ACS. When the sensor calls for an adjustment, the fuse would blow, causing a similar delay or intermittent problem. In either case it is the job for a qualified technician (and the parts won't be cheap).

You might also consider another dealer, if that is an option.

:agree: With all said. There is no excuse that a dealer can give you if there is a fuse that blows every time. If they do give you the run around even if you still have a warranty, I would search for another dealer. They need to do their job, and you need to let them know what they are supposed to do.

Agree. Constantly blowing fuses can lead to even bigger problems.

This is no brainer take it to your dealer and take the other advice.
