11 RKC accessary toggle question
I have a '11 roadking classic and want to add a plug to run a gps. what I would like to do is have the plug(cigarette lighter type of plug) so that the 'extra' toggle switch on the left side of headlight nacelle controls it...I see there is a small plug under the nacelle behind the toggle that isn't pluged into anything...1) is this plug controlled by the switch 2) is the 12volts already there 3) has anyone done this so I can get some ideas where to mount the plug and even buy the plug...I prefer not to drill a big *** hole in the nacelle if possible (for a flush mount plug)...also I prefer not to have the plug mounted on the handlebars...I believe this setup is different than on the full dressers where the extra toggle controls a aux. plug under the seat...I looked at the schematics for the bike and they show the switch being hot, but it doesn't show where the aux. plug is located...And yes I know I can just test the plug/switch, but I am hoping that someone here has already worked through this issue and will save me some work...damn that's a lot of words for a small issue...

The connector for the ACC switch is under your seat. It will have a rubber plug in it. There are 4 wires on it. 3 hots and a ground.
1. ACC
2. Brake light
3 switched 12 volts (from ignition switch)
4 ground

thanks
I will pull the seat and take a meter to the plug...I still am not convinced it is the same for roadkings as it is for the tourers with full fairings...as there is a plug behind the switch with what looks like 4 wires attached...I will comment later with what i find out...thanks...
If the wire in the headlite are the same as in my 08 they are a hot and a neutral that they tell me is used for heated grips. The hot is thru the ignition and when it is turned on you have power. I actually did hardwire my gps to those wires. Works great with the mount I have on my switches.

ok, I looked closer in the repair manual and found the answer...the acc. switch plug on the roadkings is in the headlight nacelle...on the rest of the tourers it is under the seat...thanks for the encouragement...
