Hej out there
I got a problem with my 1500SE from 1994.
After replacement of the main fuse and the fuse ACC 10 amp in the fuse control holder I got a problem with my radio, tapeplayer and clock.
The radio will play, but very, very ,very low. If you start the bike and it is running idle you can barely hear the music.
The tapeplayer won't release the tape and the sound is just as low as from the radio.
When I start the bike the clock will apeare, but it will start at a random time. It could be 1:00 o'clock or 3:37 or 9:02. You'll never know. I set the time and the clock runs fine. When I stop the bike (motor) and start it again the clock will come on again at a random time and it dosn't start at the time it was shut down.
Anyone who have experiet something like that and can help?
Could it be a relay failier maybe?
Best regards

Check Fuse #13. It is on the very bottom of the column of fuses.

Fuse 13 is in the relay box next to the fuse box.

Re: Clock, radio and tapeplayer
Exactly. I said bottom of the column of fuses but I meant bottom of the column of relays. Thanks for the correction
