yep, it's a police bike.

looks like someone removed the sliding red pursuit switch and replaced it with the cruise control. bummer.

good luck

There is an empty plug, pic also attached, in the fairing but I tested them with test light and got nothing when running the thumb switch. If crappy phone pic isn't good enough, the switch is as follows. Top is up, middle is mode sel, and bottom is dn. Any input is appreciated.

The empty plug is for heated grips.

Ok thanks. Someone has to know where those leads from that switch go because that P lights up when yo hit the control on the right side.

The "p" in the Speedo stands for pursuit and would indicate your passing lamps are on which would of been the red and blues when it was a cop bike and that switch is still going there probably. When you hit that switch do you side lights turn on and off?

I have an 09 FLHTP...I just went and double checked, my sliding switch turns on the P on the gauge in the middle position, and pushed all the way on the P stays lit up and the auxiliary (formerly pursuit lights) lights turn on.

I was hoping to make the rocker on the left controls capable of turning off my AutoTune. However, that would require major re-wiring as it's tied into the other switches too!
