Question Help! I must be blind.
Can and would somebody PLEASE tell me where I can find the other end to my accessory dash switch on my 2012 Street Glide?
I need to use the switch, but can not find the plug to plug my "accessory" into.
(A picture included would even be better, if possible)

Thanx, in Advance!

I would be glad to, but I never found mine so said the hell with it and tapped into the wires coming off the switch. Works just fine that way.

Yep that is correct, mine was not easy to find and I had to pull the battery cover off and dig around in front of the battery to find it. So look in front of the battery right behind where the rear tank bolts are.

Thanx guys! Well, so much for plugging the new driving lights behind the fairing. I'll just tap into the wire out of the switch. Just for argument's sake, what does the plug look like under the seat, cuz I may use it for something else I have planned.

Thanx Again!

As mentioned it is under the seat usually in front of the battery, it will have four wires running to it, and I believe it's gray, can't remember positively now, so it could be black, but it will be the only unused square plug with 4 wires there.

Have you removed the fairing and looked? Because there should be a hot wire on the harness for the headlight, I am not sure how much amperage you plan on drawing, so check that out, but you may be able to use that lead.

My plug was where the seat meets the tank.

I hate that the driving lights are only on with low beam.
If or more likely when I dig into the fairing I am re-wiring the driving lights to be on with both unless I turn them off.
