The electric starter relay circuit and battery charging circuit are
protected by a 25-ampere fuse. If the fuse burns out, the electric
starter will not operate. The engine can be started manually if the
fuse burns out, but running the engine will not charge the battery.
Remove the 6 12 mm screw from the rear cover of the engine
switch box.
Remove the fuse cover, and inspect the fuse.
If the fuse is burnt out, remove the fuse cover, then pull out and
discard the burnt-out fuse. Install a new 25-ampere fuse, and
reinstall the fuse cover.
Never use a fuse with a rating greater than 25 amperes. Serious
damage to the electrical system or a fire could result.
Reinstall the rear cover. Install the 6 12 mm screw and tighten
it securely.
Frequent fuse failure usually indicates a short circuit or an
overload in the electrical system. If the fuse burns out frequently,
take the engine to a servicing Honda dealer for repair.
