My 05 eiger starts,runs till hot,then blows 10 amp IGN fuse and dies. I put 12 volts to the cooling fan and it comes on,so thats ok. Is it the fan switch or sensor next to it? How do I check? HELP.

 

Maybe you have a wire that is loose and rubbing on something that gets hot (exhaust, etc). Then, when it is hot, the insulation on the wire melts a little, thus shorting it out to ground. When it cools, the insulation contracts back to eliminate the short. I had a similar problem with the main positive starting lead on my vinson where it rubbed on the frame and eventually wore through the insulation. A zip tie or two fixed it.

 

I had the same problem with the 10 amp IGN fuse blowing on my 05 Eiger. I traced it back to the sensor for the foot brake. When I disconnected the brake sensor, the fuse hasn't blown since.
