Hi all I have a royal enfield 2007 350cc bullet today I fitted an old Miller type tail light but now I have a problem I turn the ignition key on I have nothing there no lights horn nothing it won't start just dead I've even disconnected the rear light in case but still no life no horn nothing I checked the glass fuse in the holder and that ok I had no smell of burning ect I tried my trickle charger on the battery just in case it was low but that was showing ok what have I done and wear to look next any other fuses or help please thanks

Dazza, do you have a test light, if so test the fuse across the battery with it, then check battery to frame earth. Check battery connections arent broken internally, if ok, with the test light see if you have power up to the ignition switch. If you do have power up to the switch come back and let us know so we can test further

Thanks for reply norm I will check this on Sunday at 2 pm after work as soon as I've tested I will post results up hope it's nothing major

Dazza, there are two fuses, one inside the toolbox and another in the wiring under the saddle.

Thanks Hubba ill be home at 2.45 ill take a look I can see the one fuse in its cover by the battery I will take the seat off and have a look fingers crossed let you know

Hubby top man you came up trumps fuse blown under seat 15amp my owners book only shows one fuse on my bike but you know better than that thanks

I'm glad it was a simple fix in the end. I only noticed that fuse when I changed from the dual to a single seat. It's worthwhile swapping those awful glass fuses and useless holders to spade type fuses which are readily available.

Hi guys----------- I have a 2005 Classic 500 (Home Market) which I've fitted a solo on and haven't found another fuse..... Is it in a different type of container then or not fitted to some model types/ years maybe ?? (Can't find it on my 1997 bike either)

Hi Alan, the wiring diagram in my manual for my 2007 350 shows two fuses -the 20 amp 'battery' fuse and a 15amp 'ignition' fuse which was in a small 2 1/4"long black tubular plastic holder close to reg/rectifier. I guess it was a standard fit for the iron classic bikes so must be on your bike somewhere. It is in a red wire connecting the ignition switch to the ammeter. Hope you find it as it will be be bugger if it blows like mine did when I shorted the brake light wires. All the best, John
