Can someone tell me which fuse I may need to replace? I searched for fuse diagram and found none.
I have a GTS 250 Super.
TIA

This thread will list the fuse locations. Just remove them one at a time until you find the blown one. You also need to determine what caused the fuse to blow.

I'm at work right now and don't have my manual. I replaced one 7.5 fuse in glovebox (far left one) Was that taillight fuse? Now no headlight or taillight.
Where are the fuses in the engine compartment?

Pull the fuses, one at a time and inspect them. A blown fuse will have a burned through link. If you replace a fuse, use a new fuse with the same rating.

If a new fuse blows right away, you have a dead short somewhere.

Engine compartment fuses should be visible when you remove the pet carrier.

fuse keeps popping as soon as turn key on. I flipped the headlights from low to high early on in my ride to see the difference. That is the only thing I did today different from any other day. The switch is fairly hard to switch to high. I wonder if I have a shorted out switch? Does the taillight wiring hook into H/L switch?

The circuit diagram shows a 7.5A fuse feeding just the sidelights and instument panel lighting. I assume that's the one that's blowing. Check the wiring for chafed or trapped wires.

Thanks for your help. It was shorting out in the taillight wiring harness. Apparently it was pinched in assembly and took awhile to totally rub away insulation causing ground.
Y'all are the best!
