I'm replacing the 30 Amp main circuit breaker
and the voltage regulator in my 99 EVO Heritage FLSTC.


I can see the breaker, on front of rear fender behind battery box,
but I can barely touch it.


How do I get to it?


Thanks.

I do believe you have to pull the battery and the tray to access it. Battery for sure as a rule. Some are both.

Take off the rear wheel then remove the plastic splash guard which the breaker is mounted to.

 

On his bike the oil tank is the battery box.

 

I was thinking the bottom tray comes does it not? I said box but was thinking tray..

That's way too much work.. LOL..

There is a rubber tray under the battery but removing it won't do you any good trying to get to the 30 amp breaker.
About the only good removing that tray does is make it easier to access the 13mm nut that holds the positive cable to the starter.

BTW that rubber tray sits on a metal one that is part of the oil tank.

 

All my breakers are in a plastic panel on the front of the rear fender. I only need to remove the seat and that's all to access it. Is a 99 softail heritage all that different than my 98 fatboy?

 

Remove the rear wheel? Good grief. No other way?


The breaker works - (assuming it either works 100% or zero% ?
What I am doing is replacing the regulator. There's a long wire from new regulator to 30A breaker.


so . . . would it be ok to splice the new regulator's wire into the old wire to breaker?
Or is that too Mickey Mouse?


(this started with instant total failure of all electrics while riding including engine. Battery tested 6.5 volts, put in new battery, regulator tests bad, stator tests ok, main breaker must be working because I get power to starter and front lights (no low beam, no rear lights, no engine).

 

You might want to shine a flashlight just behind your oil tank and look at the front of the splash guard.

A friend of mine has a '97 FLSTC (same wiring harness as you) and his is also on the front of the splash guard.
