Fuse block cover removal on 2017 Triglide

[Cookr21]

I'm putting together a tool kit for the trike and plan on having a few extra fuses in it. Thought I would familiarize myself with the location and removal of the fuse block cover. Have the service manual but it does not show how to remove the block cover. I'm having no luck getting the cover off and do not want to destroy it. Any idea how to get the cover off?

It is located in a fairly crowded area under the left side cover on my 16 Tri Glide. I am right handed. For me the easiest way to open the black cover is grab one side with my thumb and the other side with my index or middle finger, slide them down to the bottom of the box and squeeze on both sides and it will pull off. It takes a little pressure to squeeze the tabs in to release them. It is possible to pull the entire box and mount off if you just pull straight out on the box, but it can be snapped back into place. Hope this makes sense.

I'll give that a try MDF48. Thanks

There are spare fuses in the fuse block already.

Thanks MDO. Service manual shows the spares but they would do you no good if you can't open the block cover. I got the fuse block cover off. The latches are on the sides of the fuse block cover. Had to use both hands to apply pressure on one side of the block at a time near the base of the block. Took a good bit of pressure to release each side. Very stiff plastic at the base and not much room to apply pressure. Glad I did it to familiarize myself so when and if I need to do so I don't have an issue. Thanks for the replies.

If you go through step by step & do the recommended service at X,000 mile interval, you will be amazed at what you can learn. I have learned a lot about my 2017 Freewheeler in a little over a year. For me, that knowledge feels great.

1 of the biggest things you learn, is that it's not that hard & you save big $$$ & it's done right.
