Accessory switch wiring Road King 2014
#11
When I touch the third wire to the red battery terminal, the accessory powers up. Nothing happens when I touch the third wire to the black battery terminal. So that means I need power, not ground, right?
I'm thinking this might be what I need: http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...ion-update-kit
I can use one of those wires to connect to my third wire, right?.

Im not sure if the 2014 Road King is the same as the 2011, but on my 2011 there was an unused plug behind the headlight. I connected to that plug. It was powered when the ignition was on. It worked great, right up close to where I mounted my GPS. I attached a pic of what I bought to plug into the GPS, it says it is for Tom Tom but it worked on my Garmin and Magellan. If you google it you could probably find one specific to the unit you have.

Thanks for the help, everyone.
Well, the part I referenced above did supply the power I needed. Now the accessory powers up only when the ignition switch is "on" or turned to "accessory."
I was HOPING that I could control the accessory with the right toggle switch by the nacelle, but this harness does not provide that function. Oh well, it is working.
FWIW, I plugged the pigtail into the accessory connector under the left side cover, and I connected the violet/blue wire to my accessory.
The red/black has constant power, and the black wire on that pigtail is a ground.
