Default Help with Accessory Switch

I need to hook up a CB that I need to be able to turn power on and off via the accessory switch on a 2012 Ultra Classic Limited. Under the seat I found a two female connector. I could have sworn this turns on with the bike, however neither has power. Under the left side cover I found a four hole connector (has both male and female sides but not connected). This looks like what I have seen as the accessory connector. However, none of these are powered at all either. I checked the accessory fuse and it looked good. I checked a few other likely candidate fuses and they were good. Everything else works so I did not check all the fuses - I suppose that could be step 1. Any other thoughts? Is the 4 pronger it - and if so why no power. The accessory switch lights up when I turn it on. Oddly is still lights up when I pull the accessory fuse. Update - I pulled all the 15 amp fuses - they all look good...
Thanks!

Under the seat, look for the colored wires shown in the print.
