I think I have blown the accessory socket fuse on the Forza...plugged in a pump for a childs playpool and it blew I think...stupid me!!
I have looked at all the fuses next to the battery compartment and they appear sound. Anyone know
1..where the fuse is for the accessory socket?
2..how can you tell which fuse is blown?
thanks for any pointers.

There's fuses under the right side front dash panel.

Open the right side pocket there's two screws in the top edge to come out and the panel lifts off.

brilliant ...and thanks...just nipped out to the garage and replaced the broken fuse...accessory socket back working ... 2 min job when you know how...it was one of the 5A fuses.
I had searched the service manual but could find little information on fuses and location of relevant fuses....and someone like me needs basic step by step guidance.
So a big thanks gn2.

Crazy timing, I just replaced the same fuse tonight for almost the same reason! I blew mine out using a little air compressor from my car. Front tire was a touch low so I plugged in and blew the fuse about 4 seconds into turning the compressor on. I dug out all the fuses under the seat to discover they were all fine, stinkin manual doesn't tell you which fuses are for what.

Two months later blew mine today. Took me about two hours to find it even with book.

I'm searching the forum now, but thought I would ask while I do so:

Does anyone have a list of all the fuses' locations and functions? You know, the sort of thing where someone could look up the accessory fuse or (just to pick another one not entirely at random) the fuel pump?

Well, here's a start on fuse location. This is a clipping from the wiring diagram in my shop manual (US Model NSS300/A 2014-2015). N.b. that it refers to fuse boxes A, B, and C, but the owners manual refers to fuse boxes 1, 2, & 3. Very helpful, Honda.

If the ACC slot is under the right side of the dashboard, then I assume that the Fuel Pump (F/P) slot is down next to the battery.

BTW, the shop manual isn't very forthcoming about fuse location apart from this one little bit of the wiring diagram. For instance, here are the initial diagnostics for checking the fuel pump (assuming, I suppose, one hasn't heard it pressurize when turning the key on):

There's no warning that Sub fuse 10 A (F/P) and Sub fuse 10 A (IGN) are in different locations on the bike.

Pax et bonum,
Michael

Some are under the seat, some are under the right side trim panel above the glovebox.
Open the glovebox and two screws become visible on the top edge, these hold the top trim panel on.
Once this is off there's access to fuses and the indicator bulb.
The other ones are under the battery cover.

All of this is true, but none of it tells people to which fuse box they should look first when they know which system they are diagnosing. Go into the battery area? Go under the dash? Which one has the fuse for the farkle-puffing system? (or whatever) That would be very useful knowledge to have, especially if one is on the side of the road somewhere.

Never had one blow in 33500 miles.
If you leave the electrics alone the fuses should be fine.
