Default 07 lip spoiler install on bags -- electrical issue?

So I picked up a set of the color matched saddlebag lip spoilers with LED's from Chicago Harley.... I've got the spoilers installed on the bags and the wires run with the connectors attached correctly per instructions.

Problem is -- I've got the Y Harness hooked into what appears to be the accessory plug that sits under the right side cover (side of the ECM).

I turn on the bike... no lights... nothing.

Is there a different "accessory plug" that is hidden or out of site? The harness connects right into the harness that sits under the right side cover?

Can anyone help?

It is an 07 street glide.

There is no connector in the area just under the gas tank for me...

The connector on the left under the side coverhas a gray connector and a rubber cap on the end of the wire....

Yes, the 4 place deutsch connector is the correct one that I am looking at. Strange thing is, the lip spoiler Y harness from HD plugs right into the Deutsch connector on the bike's harness... BUT - the wires are going into different holes. There is no sense to this.

Is it possible that i have a bad harness or something?

This is getting pretty frustrating...

Does the service manual show any other deutsch connectors in that area? like, a 2nd one off of the left side cover?

If in fact your plugged to the acc plug it could be switched
Do you have a acc switch near the ignition switch

Default RE: 07 lip spoiler install on bags -- electrical issue?

so I'm fairly sure this is the right connector... it is not the accessory switch -- i have checked things endlessly.

maybe i have a messed up harness -- does the manual show you what the 3 wires are on the deutsch plug on the main bike harness?

on the lid spoiler harness, there is a black/blue/and red with yellow stripe.

On the HD harness -- there is a black/red/gray wires... Any idea what those wires do?

I may try to modify the harness if I can dig up an electrical diagram for that connector... can anyone help?

That accessory plug has got to be in front of the battery. It may be tucked way down, but it should be there. There is a rubber plug inserted into it to protect it. It is over towards the left side of the frame.

You want #5. Connectoer is labled as[4].
