TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
FUSE REPLACEMENT (QXEZ
type only)
The electric starter relay circuit and battery charging circuit are
protected by a 5-ampere fuse. If the fuse burns out, the electric starter
will not operate. The engine can be started manually if the fuse burns
out, but running the engine will not charge the battery.
1. Remove the 6
X
12 m m screw from the rear cover of the engine
switch box.
2. Remove the fuse cover, and inspect the fuse.
If the fuse is burnt out, remove the fuse
cover, then pull out and
discard the burnt-out fuse. Install a new 5-ampere
fuse, and reinstall
the fuse cover.
Never use a fuse with a rating greater than 5 amperes. Serious
damage to the electrical system or a fire could result.
3. Reinstall the rear cover. Install the
6
X
12 mm screw and tighten
it
securely.

Frequent fuse failure usually indicates a short circuit or an overload in
the electrical system. If the fuse burns out frequently, take the engine
to a servicing Honda dealer for repair.
