6th Gen Fuse block location

Where is the fuse block location on a 6th gen? Front right fender? Having a brain fart and google images are not helping.

 

To the right and left of the instrument panel behind small, removable fairing panels.

 

^ What he said. I think its the right side.

 

Right side unless it's an ABS model, then it's both if I recall correctly

 

Judas. Easy to get to? I have half the front end torn apart and I can see it. But I cannot access it. WTF honda....

 

All you should have to do is remove the one piece that fits into the from coal and right side fairing. Let me find the video I made for another member...

 

See if this video will help. It doesn't show the actual removal of the panel, just which items to remove to get to the panel...

Huh, I had the whole right fairing off. Both those bolts and the push pin. Could not get that upper piece out. I could have probably forced it and broke it, but didn't. I had the right mirror off, the windshield and almost the dashboard and couldn't get that right piece to move.

 

You're gonna have to force it. It's not much fun.
I forget which fuses are on which side but the one for the taillight is on the right.

 

You do not need to remove anything other than those panels. You do have to force them to get them out though and it feels like you are going to break something. But they do come out. All you remove is the two fairing bolts and one fairing clip securing that panel to the instrumentation panel. When you are replacing the fairing bolts, they just snug up. If you apply too much force, you will rip the well nuts behind there apart. If you do, those well nuts are readily available just about anywhere for pennies, or from Honda for a few bucks each. I got mine from Home Depot.

 

Yeah Randy, you're the one who told me it's gonna feel like it will break. which is so true.

I suggest doing your best to "massage" it out. Pry as little as possible.

 

The tabs on those do break in time. But in 10 years and 197K km or 120 some thousand miles, I have only replaced one. They are not expensive. And if you do break one, you can usually get by for a long time with one broken tab, maybe even two.

 

What! You actually listen to me? I just don't know what to say to that Rob!
