You're not trying hard enough!

True - but I've been distracted by work and two vehicles ceasing to function as they should.

Just ordered an adapter from Gerbing that hooks to their battery harness and has the female plug.

I have been working today on wiring my GPS and other accessories to a new accessory fuse block that works off a relay. Everything went well but I would prefer to do with the relay, which activates the fuse block, to a positive that is only live when the key is on. Right know it's connected to the battery with a quick disconnect so I can disconnect it when not in use.

I believe the accessory slot on the main fuse block is such a place but I couldn't figure out how to connect to it.

Any ideas on how to do this, or another hot lead that is only live when the key is on..?

Don - run wires from the relay coil to one of the accessory connectors under the tank.

I cant tell you which connector I used - because I simply used the first one I found - stuck a multimeter on it and carried on. Powers one big 70Amp relay that feeds a 12 way fusebox.

I had some electrical terminal pins that fitted in. But not the plug outer - Vanguard - any markings on that plug - Make&P/N? or a picture.

Great... Thanks, I will give it a try

And I'm having a hard time identifying the make/model of that plug.

Is it DIN spec? Just thinking - everything made in Europe for vehicles must be DIN spec?

 

[barbagris]

If only it were that easy.

I THINK they may be EconoSeal.

But there are different types all over the bike and most cars.

The Gerbing plug? Should be here Monday or Tuesday.
