RE: ACC Switch - What does it do?
A few things about the ACC switch and plug under the seat.
You can buy the MSD Co. 8181Deutsch 4 Pin Connectorkitfor$9-12 each (it has the male and female halveswith all pins). A few bucks less than buying the cigarette lighter plug from HD.
With this kit, use the correct half and you can install three items at once sincethe 4-pin connector under the seat has the following four connections: Gound, Brakes, ACC Switch, and Ignition.
Since the link button doesn't insert the link like it used to here is the long version of alink to the connector on Amazon.

RE: ACC Switch - What does it do?
Hi.
I connected my GPS to my bike (Ultra), and wanted to use the ACC switch to turn it on/off.
So I thought I would share how I connected it up - in an attempt to be helpful!
First of all the connector is under the seat. There are two very similar connectors under the seat, but they are wired differently. The connector I needed to use was hidden behind the battery.
Buy yourself an adaptor (#70264-94A). This allows you to use the bike socket, while also providing a "spare". It also means you don't have to cut any of the wires on the bike.
The four pins on the plug provide:
1. negative
2. positive (when the ignition is on)
3. positive (when the brake is applied)
4. positive (from the ACC switch).
I then cut one of the sockets off the lead, and wired up my device.
If you look down at the plug, with the flat part of the plug on the bottom, and the shaped bit at the top, it was wired as follows.(but you should really check yours with a power tester to make sure).
1. negative TOP RIGHT
2. positive (when the ignition is on) TOP RIGHT
3. positive (when the brake is applied) BOTTOM RIGHT
4. positive (from the ACC switch). BOTTOM LEFT

When I first plugged in my Air Zeppelin seat, the plug has just enough slack in the wire to reach. I cut the wire tires on the harness, and found a big bunch of slack wadded up in the wire harness. Retied the harness, and now have a nice amount of "tail" on the plugin, making it much easier to plug and unplug the seat.
