Tap into 12v wiring up front
 

Hi,
I am getting set to wire up my new Zumo 550 and was looking for some suggestions as to what wires I could tap into for 12 volt power inside the nacelle.
I have all the connectors that I need (I think), I just need to know which is the best + and - wires without digging through the manual.
&nbsp\\;
This is an edit:
I thought I should go back to the original post and mention that this is a 2000 Road King. It seems it has a different wiring harness than the one that responders have been referencing.

Thanks,
Murph

I should have taken pictures, but it is quite easy. I bought two small blade connectors to put on the Zumo leads and they plugged right into the open spare connectors behind the headlight. I just pulled off the windshield and the fairing, plugged it in and it was done. Be careful with the the lower left screw that attaches the fairing. I lost the sucker and I was lucky to get the last one at the dealer.

Thanks, I guess I'm going to have to dig out my 12 volt tester and see which wires turn on and off with the ignition and accessories switch.

behind the head lights there should be a spade connector with a red boot on it

used for the fender tip light i used it for my powered antenna-ride safe

why not use the acc switch to wire it up?

The terminals at the back of my acc switch broke off, so my buddy wired it for continuous supply.&nbsp\\;So I guess if I understand you, I could tap into that continous supply for my + and find another ground for the -&nbsp\\; ??
Thanks,

Don't need the ACC switch.

Cheapest trip ever to the dealership.

The connections are obvious and switch on and off with the main power.
