Hi all. I had the understanding that the auxiliary switch on the dash, was basically the main power feed to the heated grips and seat. Well mine don't . The grips come on, on their own with a twist of the left hand dial. The seat is the same way, but fortunately they are keyed with the ignition, so no killing the battery if their control is left on.
My question is, does anyone know where the feed is from the auxiliary switch on the dash panel, and how accessible it is?
I was thinking on adding some lighted accessories and wanted to utilize that switch. I know I'll wind up taking the fairing off AGAIN, but just want to make sure.
Going to be a part of the "down for the winter" projects.

Thanks

Just looked at your old posts to identify bike.  Is it the 2006?  If so the aux switch controls a power wire on a 4 pin connector under the dash in the hole in the frame up in front of the gas tank.  It's a four pin Deutsch connector.  Just one of the four wires is the aux power controlled by that switch.

 Oops, Sorry about not giving the year and model. Another forum has the option of the description. Forgot to add.

Yes Twolanerider, it is a 2006 Ultra CVO. Thank you for the info on the location. I'll have to take a looksee under her covers, lol

I was also wondering how to add the description / avatar on the side "signature"

I'm using Tapatalk on my phone so even if you have it in your signature, I would see it.

On my 2011 SERGU, the aux switch controlled a connector under the seat.  I used it to control the oil cooler fans I added.

Found It!
It was hiding in front of the battery, under the seat. Kind of had to dig it out of a carnivorous hole.

Also figured out why my battery tender was not functioning. I guess you have to hook up the ground to the battery, for it to do it's thing.

Nice job finding the fiddly bits.  There's a lot going on up there.  Good luck with the rest of the task.
