Default Twist grip sensor question
While doing the bars on my FXLRS, I pulled the connectors out from the frame and when I unplugged the throttle by wire connector this guy was hanging along with him...what’s it for? I cannot find a connection that it goes to. [img]blob:https://www.hdforums.com/f66f798b-2a0d-4384-ae9a-7abb4f2296fc[/img]

Your link is no worky. I'm betting it's the 2 wire for the heated handgrips. Just a guess.

Heated grip but I believe it's 12V so maybe useful for some navigation units that need 12V.

There is no power provided on the throttle side. That wire connects to the other handgrip and the left side grip connects to the power wire from the battery with a separate wire and plug.
