What does the battery voltage drop to when you are hitting the starter button? Are you attempting to use a jumper battery as the "good" battery?

If the fuse in your Harbinger V2315 PA Speaker blows immediately upon plugging it in, it could be due to a few possible issues:

1. Short circuit: A short circuit in the speaker's internal wiring or components could be causing the excessive flow of current, which is tripping the fuse. This could be caused by damaged wires or components, or a fault in the circuit board.
2. Power surge: If there was a power surge or voltage spike in the power source that the speaker was plugged into, it could cause the fuse to blow. This can happen if the power source experiences a sudden increase in voltage, such as during a thunderstorm or power outage.
3. Faulty fuse: It is also possible that the fuse itself is faulty, which can cause it to blow immediately upon plugging in the speaker. You can try replacing the fuse with a new one of the same rating to see if this resolves the issue.

In any case, it is recommended to stop using the speaker immediately and seek assistance from a qualified technician or the manufacturer's customer support for further diagnosis and repair. Attempting to troubleshoot or repair the speaker yourself may result in further damage or even injury.

It is possible that there is an issue with the idle control system in your car. The idle control system is responsible for maintaining the proper idle speed when the engine is running. If there is a problem with this system, the engine may start and then stall immediately. Boosting the battery can provide a temporary boost to the system, allowing it to start and run normally. However, if the idle control system is not functioning properly, the engine will eventually stall again. Other possible causes of this issue include a clogged fuel filter, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or a problem with the ignition system. It may be helpful to have a mechanic perform a diagnostic test to determine the exact cause of the problem.

Try to trace the wires from the headlight back to the rigged switch. at that age wiring can wear/short if it gets moved or rubs the frame or other metal/grounded parts. I know, got an 03 FLHRCI

Check battery voltage. Needs 12.5-down to 11.0 ish to start, much less than that say 9 or so may or may not even light up the low draw items. also check the battery ground wire where it terminates on the frame. Sometimes corrosion or broke off the connector.

fuses. blown battery lugs rusty or loose

yam yzf r1 1000cc done many me, and burned up many racing off road. and I do my own work even back to 1964, THERE ARE ONLY 3 CAUSES. 1: CABLES SET WAY TOO TIGHT. THE SERVICE MANUAL TELLS HOW THAT IS DONE AND MUST HAVE SPEC FREE PLAY THERE. 2: CLUTCH PACKED UP WRONG OR SPRINGS JAMMED. OR USING THE WRONG NEW PLATES SUPER THIN AND WRONG. (THERE ARE 2 PLATE TYPES, SOME ARE SLICK LOST SOME PLATES DID YOU?) 3: ASSEMBLE THE INTERNAL CLUTCH TOTALLY WRONG AND DID NOT READ THE SERVICE MANUAL FIRST. THERE A 4 REASON BAD PARTS RELATED. THE ACTUAL HUB HAS FINGERS ON SOME ARE HORRIBLY DAMAGED AND NOTICED FROM WEAR AND THE DISKS TABS NOW JAMMED IN THE WEAR NOTCH LOCKING OPEN THE CLUTCH. I'd have to look over your shoulder to go , gee that is so wrong and would the instant I saw it. the clutch is stuck open(dis engaged.) only why remains. and cable is first. one more why. the cable or hydr. actuator that lands non he clutch hosing has parts that are easy to lose or install wrong or even ignored and that be wrong. too. the R1 is all mechanical lever cable acutated if cable is set right and not way way tight, then the cover off the rod in the center is jammed? no missing or broken springs lost plates, or kids stole them as dad slept? put them back in the correct order, (2 kinds of plates) tighten the last spring screws in criss cross order and do it in stages. turns, to it can NOT **** and jam up. the parts under the side cover not aligned or set wrong> if wrong it can jam the rod and caused it to slip. before the cable is attached, try to push the bike in high gear. it must not be above to push and will even drag the rear tire if husky you. now you know clutch is not jammed open inside. and cable is installed now last and adjusted per the book. as you can see my last test can be done now easy remove the cable and witness a jammed clutch. do not start the engine, or rise wrecking gears or you. i hope cable is wrong, such an easy fix. that. the cable must have free play , must. per the book.

Cud b bad fuel delivery too. Or vacuum leak or dirty aircleaner. Wire connections cud b loose or corroded. Buy a clymer shopbook like the pros use

Check the solenoid for the starter motor. This could be stuck in the open position giving constant power from the battery. It is a small barrel shaped block either bolted to the actual starter motor or bolted 'Inline' in the large cable between the battery and the Starter motor. (Battery-solenoid-starter motor). Do these tests with the key OUT. There are two large nut connectors and a smaller wire connector on the solenoid. Use a Multimeter set to DC volts. Disconnect the smaller wire and test it for live voltage. If the key is OFF there should be NO voltage. You should only get a power reading with the key ON and you press and hold the Start button. If you get a voltage reading you will need to check the wiring for the start switch. On the solenoid disconnect the larger cable nearest the starter motor and tuck it to one side, put the red multimeter pin on that terminal. Touch the black pin to an earth point, try the engine block. You should get zero volts. If you get a reading replace the solenoid.

There are some ideas here and a link to the manual. Some have a reset button to the motors. https://www.google.com/search?q=Freerider+Westminster+mobility+scooter.+No+power ..

limited info generic answer notify manufacturer --rv shop--but check level sensor in mean time

Check the lamps are flashing as they should by switching on the hazard lamps and that they have the correct wattage bulbs installed, not LEDs.

Search utube and pinterest. Or ask a machineshop

Being a Harley, look for the broken wires.

There are no worries about battery size if you are using a motorcycle horn, because a mobility scooter battery is 6 times larger than a motorcycle battery. A motorcycle battery just uses a simple button, but larger car twin horns use a relay. A 12 volt sounder is electronic, so no worries there. You could use a truck reversing sounder. Don't forget that they are not omnidirectional, so they need to be pointing forward. https://www.google.com/search?q=horn+relay+wiring ..

It could be a ground problem also.

Sorry, mine is a Bosch 32v.
