Accessory switch and plug error
Found a significant error in the 2008 Ultra Classic manual - thought others may want to know.
I have a Gerbing heated vest from about 6 years ago, so decided to give it a try with the new Ultra - and went looking for an accessory plug on the bike.
The manual on page 73 & 74 says that there is an accessory plug under the left side cover. The manual shows a photo on page 74 with an arrow pointing to it. This plug is supposed to be switched by the Accessory switch on the fairing.
Well, come to find out, the manual is wrong - it is pointing to the programming port plug for the ECM. Don't plug accessories into this. The correct plug is actually just below it. The (correct) plug has a 15 amp fuse which should be good for most accessories.
Anyway, hope this helps someone.
