No constant Hotwire
 

I have 2005 deluxe I cannot find a constant hot wire when the ignition is in the off position. I have tried the orange and white wire that is under the seat and I get nothing. I've already checked the fuse the fuse is good is there a relay or something else I should be looking at. the thing is when I set the clock on my speedometer and shut the bike off it keeps time.what am I missing here

You can get that on your main breaker in front of the rear tire (I believe on your bike) or off your ignition switch batt terminal.

Let me explain a little bit about what I'm doing see if that will work for me I'm hooking up an aftermarket fairing Andstereo everything works fine but I can't find a constant hot to maintain the memory and clock on the stereo I could hook both wires to the battery but then I would have to turn the stereo off by hand instead of it shutting off when the ignition is turned off

Unless your HU has a seperate lead for the clock I don't see any other choce. If it does hook it to the battery and the main to the IGN. Or wait for a better answer from someone that knows a lot more than me. What Model Bike and Radio would help, The Audio forum has a few resident experts

yeah I posted over in there too didn't know which one would get more people to see it.

Ok reread your OP you've got an 05 Delux and I see you said "both" wires does that mean you have 2 hot leads into the Head Unit? I'm sure someone will be along shorty with a good/correct answer.

Well I got the red hot lead that goes to the battery then I got the blacknegative lead thAt goes to the battery then there is a yellow that keeps the clock time correct in the memory correct on the radio when you shut the ignition off everywhere I looked I can't find power to hook that up

when I say both wires I mean the yellow and the red to the battery but if I do that then the stereo will not shut off when the ignition is turned off I will have to turn it off manually every time

Well then you need two wires, a hot all the time and a wire off the accessories.
Like I said off the main breaker load side is best for hot always.
Then look at you skematic for a wire on the accessory side of the ignition switch close to where you are hooking up.

ok let me ask a question can anyone go out to their bike for me and hit the brakes with the ignition off and see if the brake light comes on
