I used to have a ghetto fuse holder in place of that but it melted and I went back to a stock one I found in the box... When can I get said fuse? What makes it fail intermittently? I'm also assuming since it resets the clock the it must be either direct power or ground... Thanks again... I'll check it out soon... it's snowing AGAIN right now... 1979 Honda CX500 1982 Honda CX500 TTTTUUURRRBBBOOOOOOOO!!!!!    Report
