12v Aux socket and driving lamps [ooops!]

[The Grey Man]

As they say, everyday is a school day with a new bike, for a while at least. [Versys SE GT 20200 model]
So I checked my tyre pressures, rear a bit soft so plugged a 12v air pump into aux socket.

That socket is now dead and so are the driving lamps, I suspect they must be on same fuse circuit.  :003:The manual is rubbish just says fuse boxes all over, can anyone advise which side panel I have to fight with to get to the fuse box and what size fuse I need?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

same happened to me 2 years ago whe I bought my new 12v air pump. I don't remember where the fuse is (and am very far from my bike), but I found it in the manual I guess ? Under the seat is the first way to go. At least it must be the only one dead.  I replaced it with 5A more in order to hold lights+air pump.

I have a 12v socket with a pair of crocodile clips on the other end that I clip onto the battery if I need to use my compressor so I don't blow the fuse.

Yes ordered some today, lesson learnt.

I use the Ring RTC2000.

It's rechargeable & has never let me down. Might help someone as you don't need to plug in to the bike.

Now that looks good, presumably it's charged from a USB or 12 volt socket so if you'd forgotten to charge it you could charge it from the bike in an emergency

Yep, it's charged through a USB!

I've been very impressed, it isn't the quickest, but battery life is very good & it seems to last an eternity when not in use - so hopefully it'll never be flat when needed.

Also comes with a handy attachment to pump up the kids football when needed

I have a Battery Tender harness attached to the battery with a 10 amp fuse.... converted the little compressor to an SAE plug, problem solved.  Lighter sockets are so yesterday, lol.
