Default Switched Voltage Source

I have a 2015 FXDB and I’m looking for a 12 volt switched source for heated grips. I looked up wiring diagrams and I can’t make out where a spot would be. Any information would be appreciated

You need a lot of amps for heated grips. More then you want to pull from a random hot wire. Do it right and get the accessory power harness at your dealers parts counter. It gives you constant and switched power, with the current you need.

You have to run something from the main harness. I suggest the accessory harness plug but you may be able to try the blue running light wire going to the front signals. I would just use the AUX connection though. I don't know about your specific ride, but on Dyna's they are usually under the seat.

You guys are right and that’s why I wrote on here. I put heated grips on my V-Strom and did it the right way using the factory harness. Last thing I want to do is Mickey Mouse my bike

If that price is correct at $17.95 I'm shocked, I can see MOCO charging 5 times that amount, I don't even need one but at that price I feel I should buy one!

Not sure how many amps you need to pull. On my 09 FXDF there is a 15 amp (switched) accessory plug under the seat. It is protected by a separate fuse (#9 on mine) in the factory fuse block. I used this to provide switched power to the front of the bike for various loads (aux lighting, air horn, oil temp & pressure gauges ). I connected to that plug a length of 14 gauge 2 conductor wire and ran it under the tank up to the front. I bought the male side of a 4 place Deautsch connector to mate to the factory plug (only using 2 of the 4 places available) Did not have to remove the tank I just fished it through. Anyway hope this gives another angle to look at it from. These pictures may help. Good luck with the project
