What wire can I splice into to power a fairing stereo that is not "ON" all the time (only "ON" when the bike is running) ?
What color wire can I easily locate that is a "switched" HOT wire?
2011 FXD

 

see drawing. i taped into the acessory wire that is under the seat. it is fused in your fuse box under acessory. there is another wire next to it that is direct to the battery positive.

on my 006 FXD I pulled power and ground for my gauges off the fuel gauge.

should be simple and close for your stereo.

Does anybody have a wiring schematic that shows the color of a "switched" wire, not an always "hot" wire?

 

i showed you in post 2. but here it is again. so the plug that has the yellow arrow is an accessory plug. this has 12 volts when the key is on and off when you turn the key off. it has 4 wires. see pics

 

R/Y (red & Yellow) thats yr wire. you're welcome

 

That helps. Many thanks.

 

i hard lined mine, then ran the remote line off the stereo on the tach... this way when the fairing is hooked up i do not lose my stations & settings

 

Hey Pontiac 69 what color is the brake light? Your nice color schematic doesn't show (for a future aux. brake light)...
thanks

 

in the 4 wire deutsche connector under the seat you have a black wire ( negative) a red wire ( hot when brakes aplied) and 2 orange wires hot when key is on
