I like to keep things looking stock. So I purchased the Honda Auxiliary Fuse Box and 4 illuminated Honda switches. To be installed in my 2022 1000-5 Deluxe.
Thought this would be an ideal time to do the dual battery install with isolator.
What a waste of good money and time. I don’t know who makes the fuse box for Honda, but the quality isn’t there.
I found 3 switch connectors that were loose and the wires pulled out of the pins. In addition, several of the pins were installed upside down and didn’t lock into the switch backs.
I followed the instructions to a “T”. Mounted everything according to the instructions provide by Honda. When I made the final assembly in my buggy ( following the instructions) the negative wire pulled out of the eye loop and shorted against the positive wire.
Examining the negative wire, just the heat shrink was holding the wire into the eye loop. It had never been crimped. Glad it happened while I was standing there rather than bouncing down the road.
No damage was done to the fuse box board or fuse box. Nothing that couldn’t be fixed. Just a pain in the ass.
I would not recommend this install to the average mechanically inclined person. It can be done better, quicker, and a lot cheaper using items sold in the club store.
Fighting thru the project, I got it done. I also install 4 of the extra large illuminated Honda switches. Several other switches, and a front and rear winch setup.
Almost forgot an 8” Under seat fan.
