Spent part of today fixing a lot of dead electrical accessories in my Scorpion. Turned loose the fuse panel and other things to figure out the source of the problem. Turned out to be a bad fuse B.
Fuse B does way too much, heater fan, brake lights, turn signals, tachometer, to name a few. The fuse that was bad was a cheap 8A fuse with a plastic core. All the rest are ceramic.
It looked fine but it wasn't making contact. The plastic melted at the ends allowing a loose fit and loss of contact.
No more plastic fuses for me!
