What do I do with this wire?
Hi there, I have an '09 FatBoy. I'm changing my stock air cleaner to a Screamin Eagle setup. Well, when I just removed the stock oval backing plate, and there was a molex type connector inserted into the back/lower/center of the plastic housing. It's just a terminated end cap. It came off with no trouble. It's now just hanging there with no provision in the new chrome backing plate to secure it. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do with it? Any help would be great, thanks, JR
PS: I'll go take a few pics......
In one picture I'm showing the stock backing plate, and the nipple at the bottom is the hole that held the connector in question.

Just found out: That electrical plug is only used on California models, to close the throttle plate so fumes do not escape into the atmosphere, when the bike is shut off. I zip-tied it to another molex type connector on the throttle body, and it's well hidden. The adhesive clip was not in my kit, but I understand that the newer kits are supposed to have a clip included. Install done, and it looks great tucked downstairs by my woodstove. We are in 10 feet of snow up here in Canada, so it'll be a few months before there is any riding up here. Thanks for everyones help. First day on here. JR
