Default Hot Wire
Anybody know of an unswitched hot wire in the fairing on my 09 glide? Or do I have to go back to the battery? Thanks in advance.

You might check the cigarette lght.Can't remember if that's switched or not.Usually works with the ignition off in other vehicles.

The cigarette lighter is switched by the ignition key. You will have to tap into the ignition key input for constant hot wire or run a line to the battery. Be sure to put an in line fuse on the line if you do.
