I bought the Touring Electrical Connection Update Kit-69200722. The instructions say to connect it to the accessory connector under the left side cover. My HD shop manual for my 14 FLHTK indicates that the bottom grey plug is the accessory plug. The grey plug on the the update kit wire is a male and the bottom accessory connector is a male and they are physically no compatible by size or shape. Where do I plug the wire in ?? Is the auxillary plug not the same as the accessory plug?

You need to plug the light grey colored connector 69200722, to the same eight pin plug on the left side cover where the fuses are...

Did you look at the connector above it, they are usually reversed, and the Data Link is on bottom and the aux on the top.

Yep, #8 and #7 are reversed in the picture. The good thing is though, only one connector will fit in to the correct one.

That was the problem thank you very much. I could not take the chance of connecting to something nearby that fit b ut was electrically wrong.
Now we have created another information resource for other riders with the same question. The cumulative knowledge of the membership on Harleys is awesome. I guess the guy at the York assembly plant was not paying attention that day when he put that together.

It's not the assembly line guy that got it wrong. The 2 plugs only fit into the correct slots (different sizes) under the side cover. The illustration is incorrect.
