[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 955354, member: 3828"] +1 to what others have said, except... The running light fuse goes to the rear tail lamp filaments (x2) , the two front running light filaments (x2) in the front turn signals and the meter backlights in the instrument panel. In the cas eof an intermittently blowing fuse, I'd be suspicious that tehre is a blown light bulb somewhere in that circuit, and the broken/loose filament is moving around and shorting to some grounded structure inside the lamp. As I recall, there was someone that had such a problem a few years ago on an FJR, though I can't recall which bulb it was. Are any of these bulbs blown? Or maybe looking like they aren't putting out the right amount of light? It's a bit hard to tell if one of the tail running light filaments are blown since they are in the same light assembly. But, I still have to wonder, why did you need to install a plate light? :unsure: In the world or electrical/electronic troubleshooting, the best logic is to usually suspect the MRFWU ;) [/QUOTE]
