I was told at the dealer that my 09 SERG was prewired for my heated clothing, yet all I can find are HD type plugs where they said the connectors were.  Also, is one of these for accessories?

Can someone tell me what plugs 1, 2 and 3 are for?

they did not come prewired from the factory, some dealers, while setting up the bikes, have added the tender plug. but not from factory. It's an easy enough and cheap enough thing to add, DIY. but, If you ride it enough you won't need a tender.

...but, If you ride it enough you won't need a tender.

Well, that's not entirely true, LarryB...

I ride 1000+ miles/month. I've never needed a battery tender to fix a battery that was undercharged from sitting too long.

However, just last week, I turned the ignition to "ON" so I could see the neutral indicator on the dash and backed my bike ouit to do a couple of quick things. I walked away for a couple of hours leaving the ignition in the "ON" position. When I came back, I had a few indicators on the dash, but the HID headlights were out and the starter wouldn't even turn over.

That's was the moment when I wished my dealer had hooked up a Battery Tender quick-connect as part of the PDI. My wife's new Street Glide -- bought at a different dealer -- came with one installed.

Off came the seat, ECM and bracket so I could get to the lousy battery terminals to hook up the tender.

I went to a local parts shop the next day, found an end cable from a battery tender the piece with the clams and the inline connector to the tender. I bought a couple of other things and the owner had his mechanic replace the clamps with ring terminals and gave me the resulting piece -- FOR FREE!!

Now, I just gotta install it.

this alone will drain your battery to the NO START point. This isn't a battery tender thing. I have a Batt charger that I use if this happens. only diff is I gotta take the seat off, no biggy.
No surprise that Ricky doesn't put the plug in, My wife's bike, which came from the OTHER dealer did have the plug in installed. Like I said, It's a dealer thing.

Thanks brad, I'll hook up the heated clothing plug directly to the battery.  Do you know where the "Accessories" connection is?

[Bungy]

You don't need the accesories plug, hook your pigtail up directly to the battery w/ an inline 15 amp fuse.

[Tony Smith]

Agreed, but still need to know where the plug is to run something off the accessories circuit.  Anyone have experience with this?

[Bungy]

Its the same one your heated seat is plugged into, one side switched, one not.

[LarryB]

SERG does not have heated seat, the accessory plug is under the seat, you can get a splitter to make one side switched and the other not. But before you do anything, Buy a service manual, and the electrical manual, it saves yourself alot of time & money. order it from Chicago HD for 20% off.

[Tony Smith]

Thanks LarryB.  I'll pick up the manuals this week.

Thanks everyone for their feedback, it sure helps!
