Title: Is there a fuse protecting the onboard-charger on a ds 2014
Post by: flossemd on October 29, 2019, 09:18:39 PM
I've asked the question on Facebook, but nobody could help me.
I've plugged the 230V plug in the bike and the connection probably wasn't good, there was a summing sound for maybe half a second in the plug and then a bang, and the breaker in the charging-station was triggered. I changed the plug, tried it again the next day, it tried to charge for some seconds (dash went on, numbers were shown) and then nothing. When i plug it in now, nothing happens. I tried to reset the bms. I can charge thru the aux-port. The manual for a 2014 says there are 4 high voltage fuses but i only have 2, the charger fuse is one that's missing, the other one is the quick-charger fuse. On the pic i added are 14 and 15 fuses from the manual and my 2 fuses. Where are my other two?

There is only one fuse affecting charging on a 2014DS, the 100A auxiliary charge fuse. If you can charge with an external quick charger, than it sounds like your onboard charger has died.

I am not sure what they did in 2014, but I can tell you that some Zeros have a couple of fuses that are almost impossible to replace. One is in the harness (IIRC) and perhaps another in the battery. No easy or reasonable way for us to get to either of them. They are not considered replaceable parts.

They are such high values that they normally will not blow out or give problems in normal use. They are there for safety.
