Default HELP - Anyone know what this plug is?

I recently purchased a PCV and did the install this morning. Fired the bike up and got a CEL and it runs like crap.

Noticed this yellow plug under my seat and not sure if I accidentlly disconnected something during the install. Does anyone know what this plug goes to?

Thanks

Craig,

Welcome to the forum from the Netherlands.

In order to help you on this issue please let us know the type/ year of your bike and the colors of the wires on that plug.

Enjoy the forum & ride safe!

Sorry about that. It is a 2012 FXDB. The wires are red, white and green, and black.

Thanks for the welcome, I've been lurking for a while. Seems like a great forum.

Unfortunately I do not have access to a 2012 Dyna Models Wiring Diagram, so maybe a 2012 Dyna rider could chime in.
On older models however, red is used for the crank position sensor, white/green for the speed sensor and black for ground.

In the image I see a female plug left to the plug you're holding. Mayby that's the one you need?
I assume you searched for other plugs already in the area where you found this one unplugged?

Nope doesn't match up with anything that I can see. I've searched all over but can't find any female connectors to plug it in to. The connector you see to the left runs to the rear O2 sensor that will no longer be used with the PCV.

Double check, if the black and green are solid or have a stripe.

So I pulled the seat off my 2012 FXDB to see if I can find where this plug goes for you. It appears to plug in to something on the left side of the bike. It plugs in under the cover where I assume the ECM is (i've never taken this cover off) here are links to some pictures I took, hope this helps.

Sorry for the image quality, hard to focus with one hand.

I finaly found a plug in the wiring diagram that has a white/green wire, but it is paired with a Red/orange and a black. If that is what you have it is for the optional security siren.
