When I connected my Toad electric cable, the running lites quit (also the Toad rear lites). The turn signals & flashers worked ok. Problem was that the lites were On when I connected the cable, so the system was surged and the 10A fuse blew.

Winnie clearly marked the fuse ("Mrkr Lts") and it was very easy to access (under the lift-up dash).

Lesson learned: Turn Off lites before connecting (Duh!).
