Default Battery tender connector / wire on 2014 flhr

I have this sae connector under the left side panel of my 2014 road king (title has typo I can’t edit ). It’s not getting power as tested on my volt meter. It appears to go to a bundle of wires next to the frame. Can anyone tell me about the other side of this wire?
Where is it?
How can I find it without taking the whole bike apart. Does it have a fuse?

I need to check both ends and troubleshoot the no power situation.
thanks

You might check the fuse. If I recall correctly, it’s only a 7 amp fuse and can blow if you try to start your bike with a 10 amp or larger battery charger connected.

You may have an in-line fuse on this connection.

Don't rely on a visual check, use your meter.

Check fuse #3, it is the battery fuse, 5 amp. Remove and check with a meter.

See below.

The battery tender is on the P&A circuit, protected by the P&A fuse.
