Default My elusive Accessory plug...and other plugs

I know the accessory plug is supposed to be in the front of the battery. But, after hours of searching, I can not find the bugger. I unlatched and swung the ECM aside, and removed the upper tray. I searched everywhere the for the accessory plug and could not find it.

Does anyone have any pointers on how to find the dang accessory plug. If it seems to be maybe hiding somewhere, could someone describe where it comes out of the harness?

Also, in my quest to find the accessory plug, I found two others that I am curious about. I can only seem to post one picture per post, so first I'll do one and then add another post for the second.

The attached photo of the plug. I got this photo off the Internet, because I forgot to take a picture of mine. This plug is close to the back of the tank, and has one wire. It is powered on when the ignition is powered on. Does anyone know if it has an intended purpose? Do you know how to get a plug with wire that would attach to it?

Default Second unknown connector

This picture is of the other unknown connector plug. It is the grey plug below the fuse panel cover. It is a 4 position but has 3 installed pins. One is ground, one is power when ignition is on, the other doesn't seem to have power. Does anyone know what this is intended for? Btw...I was excited thinking it was the accessory plug. Although it is the same style it is not the accessory plug.

Thanks,

Post edit...drat...sorry it is rotated 90 degrees. I can't seem to fix the picture.

The second one looks like the ECM plug - you can hook up a Power Vision there.

It's usually tucked down among the wires in front of the battery.....Look for the rubber plug




With the rubber plug





Plug out

That's it....the rubber plug kind of conceals it, makes it difficult to make out that it's an actual connector. You might have to dig for it. But it's in there. Toward the front on the bike.

That little gray one is the B+ connector. Stuff like heated gear, heated seat, fog lamps, or some of those engine fans can be hooked up to it.

Thanks. Now I know what to ask for to connect to it.

I found theist one...I think. But something is already connected to it. It doesn't make sense if it is the aux connector, cause I don't have anything switched by the aux switch. I do have the alarm, and it seems maybe it is connected to that connector..,is that possible?

Send a pic of what you found.

Sandman...good point. I'll open it up and measure the voltages. And take a picture. Probably this weekend.

Thanks again.
