Fuse Box

[jdross440]

Where is the second fuse box that holds the Hazard fuse? I found the one on top of the battery, but it only has 5 fuses. I need to find the other fuses.

[jdross440]

I found it. Buried beneath the other box forward of the battery covered with some wiring.

If your bike still has the glass fusses I recommend updating to the blade type fuse.

Somebody made a kit for the blade conversion, but I couldn’t find the thread when I searched a few weeks ago.  Any ideas? Thinking about doing this in the cold season.  Also want to consolidate all the fuses into one box rather than searching through the wiring harness as @jdross440 just did.

Earl, aka Skydoc_17  has a replacement fuse box he sells or at least did. Check out this link.  https://www.venturerider.org/forum/topic/63155-first-gen-vr-1983-to-1993-fuse-box-upgrade-kit/#comment-800670

Hope this helps you out.

So I have and he is very upstanding and stands behind what he sells.

Where in the world did you find a fuse block that takes mini ATM fuses??

Local jobber. I have seen them at marine stores and at princess Auto (our equivalent of harbor freight) as well.

I just bought mine from Earl. Waiting for it to arrive here in Canada,

Definitely a great option and would highly recommend Earls kits. The only issue for Canadians is shipping, customs and exchange rate can drive the price up for Canadians. I picked my fuse block up from NAPA for just under $6.00 plus tax. I have since seen a various assortment of them at Princess Auto, Amazon and In marine stores for $20.00 0r less depending on style and number of fuse sockets.

Huh.  I've never seen one.  Not in my local auto parts stores, not in Harbor Freight, not on eBay, and not on Amazon.  I'd love to find one.

Great suggestion!  I've been searching for "crepe pan" this entire time.  No wonder I haven't found a 6 or 8 position, inline, mini-ATM fuse block yet!  

Ah, just kiddin'.  I haven't looked in months.  Ran another eBay search and one popped:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/282415704870?hash=item41c149ab26:g:doAAAOSwnGldPLiT

What I'd really like is a square, 10-way micro ATT fuse block. (I have a few extra circuits added with standalone fuse holders along with the cruise fuse that I'd like to consolidate).  Barring that, I might settle for a low profile ATC/ATO fuse holder with posts I can use as commons.  Maybe find one of these in a 10-way.  Or fit in a 6-way and 4-way.

These may be a bit too bulky, but I thought I'd point them out just in case they might work for you.

Thank you!  The second two won't work since they aren't inline fuses on the positive wire.  They have common positive and negative supply terminals.  That first one, however, looks nice, but I suspect it would be too long.
