While installing a battery tender today I ran across 2 electrical parts that weren't connected. One I Google d as a security antenna part # HD P/N 68956-07. The other has no markings. I bought this 09 FXD in April and a friend ran the Vin number and said the bike had security. I assumed it was disabled.
I hope the pictures I uploaded will give you an idea of what I have here. The antenna has a tag on it with a serial number(?) that says "Passed" and a set of 3, 2 digit numbers separated by colons which I take as the code for disabling the security if it were active. Can I make use of this, get fobs and reactivate?
TIA, Gary
After looking at my 2009 Dyna Parts Manual, specifically the wiring harness diagram (page 120), I'll take a wild guess at Customer Accessory Connector. If no one here can identify it for real, then I recommend swinging by your dealer and asking a tech. Let us know what it is, out of curiosity.
the first pic is a security antenna.
it's not even hooked into the Turn signal security module.
does the bike even have a TSSM that is for security.
Just curious as to why you have the left side of the bike appart when the battery is on the other side?
the code to disable security is only 5 digits.
Only the dealer can enable the seurity and program the fobs.
providing you have the correct turn signal module to do so.
Why did you run the battery tender lead out the left side?
I always run them out the right side of the bike.

I always run them out the right side of the bike.
When sitting on the bike, my battery tender lead is on the left side (horn side)--reason, the wire to the tender does not lay on the exhaust pipe. Just my $.02 worth--

I will look into TSSM thing. I have a service manual and need to get a parts manual.

I took off the seat and battery cover trying to figure out how to run the pigtail. That's when I found the unconnected antenna and that connector with the cap on it. I ran the pigtail to the left side to keep it away from the exhaust (as DocSG mentions) and tied that other connector there to keep it out of the way.

I ran mine to the left side because I also use it to power my GPS, which I like to mount on the left side of the bars. Allows me to run the cable from the pigtail up along the gas tank and up to the bars cleanly, since I remove it when not running GPS (98% of the time).

Yup. Even though my outlet is on the right when I park, I can run the cord over the seat and keep it off the pipes.
I always zip tie it under the battery box.
NEVER had a problem with it hitting exhaust.
to eash his own, it's just easier for me to have it on right side
because of where I store it in the winter, there isn't much room to get to left side.
IF you have a TSSM it will have the opening on it for the
antenna(grey 4 pin plug)
All you have to do is slide it out enough to see what's plugged into the back of it.
I never run anything over my seat.
I bet if you saw a bike I set up, you wouldn't even be able to
tell where the tender lead was unless I showed you.
It looks factory.
The plug with the yellow band, and the black cap plug in your pics is the ESM control connections. Its used on European models to open and close a butterfly valve in the pipes for noise regulations. Its usually the first thing that gets unplugged on european harleys and replaced with an adaptor that tricks the ESM unit into holding the butterfly open permanently.
Wrap it up, put it away, and forget about it until some dick introduces idiotic noise laws in your state.
