Accessory Circuit Help
My accessory connector (Deutsch connector under battery) does not provide switched power (by the dash mounted accessory switch). It only provides an ignition switched 12V.
Has anyone else run into this situation? I tried to install both my Motolights and the Tour Pack Spoiler to the circuit as recommended.
Any ideas / suggestions appreciated.

Are you sure you've got the right connector? The accessory connector is shown on the prints (2008 touring manual) as a 4 wire with both ignition switched (Orange with Red tracer on pin 1) and accessory "switch" (Orange pin 3) hot leads. Also a Black ground (pin 4) and Brake Relay contact (pin 2).
At least that's how I read it... could be wrong however. Could you be looking at the data connector?
Good luck -

To up2nogood22: The Acc connector should be in front of the battery, not under it. It wasn't readily visible on my '07 SG and should be clipped to the frame with a rubber cap on the end.
I bought a "Switched Circuit Adapter Harness" (HD #70264-94A), which is a "Y" harness, and cut one of the "O" wires for use with my heated gloves. They are thus switched on and off at the Acc switch. You don't need the adapter, but could also cut or remove the insulation from the "O" wire and splice your accessory 12V connection at that point. I bought the adapter to keep the original connector unaltered, although I can't think of a practical reason to keep it in its pristine original state. I can't recall why I wanted to spend $17 on this adapter, but that was two years ago and well outside of short-term memory. If you remove the accessory, just resolder the wire and use some heat shrink.

When I installed the saddle bag lid spoiler kit with the LED's in it, I used the gray acc plug under the seat with no issues what so ever. The only other connector that even remotely looks like that one is the ECM interface....at least thats how it is on my 08 FLHX....?
