Electrical problem

[Entropy]

Being more the wrench spinner type than an electrical guy, I know what a suppressor is on a gun, but a suppression diode? Ya got me there, E.

Howdy;

NP, sir. Pitchers' worth a few hundy words ...

Suppression across contacts/load:




Suppression across relay coil:



One protects the 'relay 'trigger' ( e.g, whatever's driving the relay coil); one protects the contact / load. BackEMF is very bad juju.

Possibly overkill in this instance, Unless one is implementing a huge airhorn compressor, lol. But - the magic's in the details. Guilty. Use a 1N4007 ( 1 amp, 700v PIV ). Stout.

Cheers

If I remember right there's a plug under the left side Tupperware For all the switches maybe it got unplugged somehow.

You may be on to something there. After a quick scan of the wiring diagram. The only thing I see in common is one harness connector PIC1. Every panel switch, of the 4 possible, has leads going through that connector. So if it got unplugged that would do it.

Atch, just a little more Troubleshooting, does your horn work or not. It's on the same fuse as the Air Ride,

No, the horn doesn’t work either, but I checked all the fuses with a VOM that I could find under the seat. Is there any other fuse panels somewhere else?

I’m really stupid for not coming here in the first place. I spent $900 trying to figure out what the problem was. It figures that the problem was a $1 fuse. I want to thank everyone that posted suggestions. The problem was a blown fuse. I never realized that there was a fuse panel in the front compartment.

Thanks everyone,
Atch

I am glad you found it. Thanks for posting the resolution. Bruce

It is almost NEVER a good idea to spend money on just throwing parts at a problem based only on a wild guess.

Hay Atch,
PLEASE don't tell us that a dealer charged you $900 to replace a fuse?????

Hey Atch. Appears that you could use an owners manual - what BRP calls an Operator’s Guide. Everything you needed to know was in there. That’s different from a service manual and is a free download here.

Just use the drop down menu in the upper left to select Roadster, then select the year and model.
