I'm replacing the useless ambient air temperature guage with the HD oil temperature guage. Installation requires accessing connector 107 that connects the existing air temperature sensor, disconnecting it, and plugging the oil temp sensor into it. But, I can't find the dang thing. The wires from the quage go into the main harness and disappear.

Can anyone help me find the connector?

By the way thanks to a suggestion on another thread, I didn't have to drain the oil to install the oil sensor. I coated the new sensor threads with thread sealant, and screwed it into the adapter finger tight, and then coated the adapter threads with sealant. I put a puppy training pad under the oil pan and then removed the plug. When it came out, I stuck my finger over the hole, and then hand screwed in the adapter with the sensor and then tightened them both with a wrench. I only lost about 1 oz. of oil.

Oh back to the connector. Where the heck is it?

Edit: oops...didn't mean to post it in the Rushmore section, just the a Touring section.

Did the same search a few years ago. I happen to have an '07 Ultra, so yours is probably a little different, but it's the connector right at the temp sensor. Mine happened to be under the batwing, I think in the later model years that sensor has been relocated, not just sure where. The white cube in the photo is the sensor, the connector plugged into the rear of it is connector 107

 

Left side of steering neck. Can you post a link to the other thread, I'm interested in doing this also. What are you using for a gauge?





Edit... I missed your edit. This is for a Rushmore

 

Omg!!!! Thanks, that's where it is. I would have never found it without this information. After reading your post, and having dinner and some wine, I couldn't resist going out to the garage to look. And voila!!! There it was!

My evening is now complete. I'll take the dog for a walk, go to bed, and post pics in the morning.

Thanks GuineaPig!

 

FYI;

The oil pressure guage kit comes with the sensor (that gets installed in the pip plug on the front of the oil pan), and the guage that matches the other small gauges on the fairing. The guage comes in the various color schemes to match your scheme. The kit was $149.95, minus 10% HOG discount, plus 8% sales tax.

Installation was fairly easy, with the following tips:

It helps to jack up the bike to access the oil pan. Then rather than draining the oil, based upon the recommendation in another thread: coat the threads on the sensor with thread sealant, and hand tighten it into the adapter. Then coat the the adapter outer threads with sealant. Remove the pipe plug. As soon as the plug comes out, be the little Dutch boy and stick your finger over the hole. Then quickly remove your finger and hand screw in the adapter with the sensor. Use a wrench to tighten the adapter, then a wrench to tighten the sensor.

I used electrical contact grease on the connector terminals, since it is so exposed to the elements.

After removing the fairing. Remove the left side ( from the driving position) fairing brace.

It makes it easier to use a universal joint on the socket to access the gauge nuts.

The connector #107 to the existing air sensor is located at the upper end of the steering neck on the left side, highlighted in picture below with blue tape. All the extra cabling in the picture is for the enhanced audio system, and a few other accessories.

 

Glad you got it installed. One thing that keeps confusing me as I read this is that I keep thinking you are talking about a Rushmore bike but you must be talking about the 2012 Tri Glide pictured in your signature line. One minute I'm thinking the air temp on a Rushmore is shown on the radio and you're talking about changing a gauge that a 2012 has. Well I think I got it straight now. Glad it worked out for you.

 

Oh yeah...sorry...I should have mentioned in the original post it was a pre-Rushmore 2012.
