I needed a laugh this morning, that did it for me

 

This is better than the comedy show.

 

A little Thunder and Lightning here in the forum

 

I foudn that when dealing with wiring acc into the bike, make your own line with wire that excedes what you want to do with it, then add in a switch or use an existing acc switch, and wire it so it only is useable when the bike is on to avoid killing your battery.

To answer your specific question:

According to Harley,

The cig lighter is set for 15 amps, including the wires.
The wires excede the need for a 15 amp draw. You will see that the warnings int he service manual say that the cig lighter is not for accessories. But cars have the same warning. It is designed for 15 amps. It is wired for 15 amp max.

Check the specs/reqs on your heated gear and ensure that they dont excede this.

If they pull the full 15 amp for extended periods of time, you MAY run into issues down the road.

And, Ripper seems to be an appropriate screen name.

 

12 post and he started a **** storm already. Way to go dude.

 

This was a winner for me this morning, I sure feel educated. :-)
I love people that don't really want answers to their questions, or at least don't want answers that they could have read in the manual.
I think the proper response would have to be RTFM.

 

Whew!!!!!!!!!! Ithink I'll get out and go skiing this morning---got to be cooler on the mountain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Definitely Feel More Educated Now after Reading This Thread..
