Question about fuses

**schoeney** · 06-10-2009, 11:15 AM

I am going to buy some spare fuses.....do I need to buy anything special or just a 12 volt 2 prong auto fuse in the amperage in need?

Make sure you get the correct physical size. They have a few different shapes and sizes. If they are replacement fuses for the Nomad factory fuses, you want ATC type. ATC-15 are 15 amp...you get the drift.

All the stock fuses on the ike that would go out are "normal" as what you described. Many aftermarket items can be found to use the little mini fuses though. THey are so small and light, it might be worth having one in each amp.

Jack we must have read it right at the same time

When you but the fuses, it might be handy as a kit, with a puller in the kit. Also a cheap 4 dollar test light that looks like a ice pick is dam handy to just test fuses with out pulling them one by one.

I bought a fuse kit at wally world a few weeks back. It had a fuse puller, many different amp fuses to fit our bike, and test light all for like $10 in a kit. :-)

On my 06 Nad, there is a spare 10amp and 30amp fuse under the cover of the fuse box. You might want to pull one of those and take it with you to the auto store to be sure you're getting the right size.
