hello my father's 1993 gl1500 aspencade has an electrical issue. he jumpstarted his bike from a car that was not running.



after getting the bike running he noticed his gas gage, engine temp gage and overdrive light were not working. he replaced the #8 (says tail meter position onfuse panel)fuse and it blew right as he plugged it in. the manual he has isn't very helpful (clymer) on electrical issues.

does anyone know if it is a relay? and if so which one since there are 8 i think.



thank you

No it is not a relay. There is a short in the system somewhere, probably not related to jump starting the bike.
That fuse runs several things, tail lights, position lights, instrument lights, gauges, headlight relays etc. If there are any add on accessories or lights they would be the first thing to look at.
