I assume you mean the Electronic Baffle if check the Arlen Ness Instructions it tells you to unplug the solenoid and wire tie in a secure location where does not interfere with anything ...

On my Ness Big Sucker there was a little hole cast into the aluminum on the back. The clip on that wire plugged into it perfectly.

I'm sure someone will chime in here, but I think that plug is only used on overseas models. Something about an active intake solenoid, I think. Check out this thread:
