Reading the owner's manual and it says that the circuits that the fuses protect are labeled next to the fuses. Another manual snafu as my '12 and '13 aren't labeled.

What are each of these fuses for? (2013 shown)
20A Yellow
10A Red
15A Blue

And why does my 2012 have a 15A fuse in the first location? Dealer popped a fuse during setup or updates and stuck whatever was easy in there or is there an electrical system difference?

7.5 Runs gauge and brake light and powervalve servo. 15amp runs hand warmers. 20 amp runs headlights.
Least thats the best I could come up with on the hill today. When I blew the 7.5 and lost my gauge and powervalves. Swapped them all around and put the blown fuse in the 20 which killed the headlights. Never tried it in the 15 amp location but my guess would be thats the hand warmers. Oh yeah and the book says there is spare fuses in the cover. But that must be for the 1100T.

P.S. I blew the fuse by moving the taillight to the back bumper, refer to a differnt post which put the connector inside the tunnel. Which apparently is to close to the track because it broke off and caused a short.

The 15 amp headlight fuse was blown on my '12....I also noticed the '13's have a 20 amp instead. I replaced mine with a 20. Is that a good or bad idea?

20 amp fuse means the wire going to the fuse needs to be sufficient size/rating to carry 20 amps of current without heating up

Exactly... did they make changes to the wiring harness for the 13's?
