Default OK...where is it?

My '14 FLHTK that I bought new had a battery tender pigtail installed and was routed along the rear fender. My '07 FLHTCU that I bought used had one also and was routed below the right side side cover. Now I have a '15 FLHTK that I bought used and I've looked everywhere (right side, left side and under the seat) and find no pigtail. So where is it?

I was going to below the left side left cover, but if you’ve already checked... Maybe it was removed for some weird reason?

It should be behind the left side cover, or maybe the dealership profit bin?

Coiled up under left side cover. Part of the harness.

Start at the battery and trace the leads.
If there is only one cable to each post, you don't have a pig tail.

Yep only one cable to each post. So I guess no pigtail. Bummer

It's part of the bike's harness on the 15 FLHTK so you will not find it connected to the battery, Look under the left side cover as stated in previous posts.

As it rolled off the assembly line.
Under left side cover, item #6

Yes you do. The connector you're looking for comes from the factory under the left side cover & has it's own clip holding it securely fixed in place until someone removes it from its' mounting clip. It's shown in your owners manual. See item 6 in this figure:



It's wired into the Accessories circuit & fused via the 20A Accessories fuse.

RollaMo - you type faster than I do! ;-)
