Default B+ connector,, where is it?

My FCS system came today from Jason. ) Got the B+ connector on the positive lead but I have no idea as to where the mating plug is on my bike. I have a 2010 Ultra. Can anyone guide me to my plug?

Mine is near the battery, on the right side of the battery IIRC.

Mine was in front of the battery, buried under the accessory plug and a bunch of other wiring. I was sure they forgot to put one in my bike for about an hour until I finally found it.

What color is the B+ Connector? Might help in finding it... Anyone happen to have a pic??

Thanks! I pre-ordered my FCS today, so doing my homework now, hoping to have it by June when Jason gets the next run completed.

It's gray, about 1/2" x 1/2" or smaller.

Rectangular In length....square in circumference has a rubber cap on it. Inside has 4 separate connection points.
1 a ground
2 a constant hot
3 an ignition on only hot
4 I believe a hot connected to the accessory switch ( I think) use a volt meter.

That's the ACC plug, NOT the B connector he's looking for.

It looks something like this

As White Ice said this is the accessory connector.

The B+ connector, same as on my Dyna to which I mounted the FCS, has just one red wire going into it. It's a grey connector approx 1" long, 1/2"x1/2" cross section.

It's always a hot wire, so I connected my FCS to an accessory switch, via a relay, fed by the B+ connector.

Otherwise the first muppet curious of what you mounted on the horn could flip the switch of the FCS on and you'll find your battery dead when you're back. Good luck jump starting an Ultra.
