My flashers stopped working on my BX1500 and I found a fuse marked "H/LP" was blown. I replaced it and it arced and blew like there is a dead short. What does H/LP stand for?
Any suggestions as to what could be the problem?
Thanks, JD

This is sort of a generic procedure since I don't know the BX wiring. First I'd ensure that the proper size bulbs are in the flashers and nothing is connected to the circuit.
Then I'd disconnect the wiring from the switch to the flashers (it's underneath the fenders on my Ford). I'd then turn on the ignition switch and flashers to see if the fuse blows. If it doesn't blow, I'd remove the bulbs and test for continuity between the wire to each flasher and ground. There shouldn't be continuity and it sort of identifies the problem if there is.
If the fuse continues to blow with the flashers disconnected then the problem is ahead of where the wires were disconnected. With the ignition and flasher switches off, There shouldn't be continuity between either wire feeding the flashers and ground. If there is that identifies the problem but the wiring would have to be traced back to the flasher switch.
If those ideas don't find it there are other possibilities such as the flasher switch or the fuse holder. ....
