Default Inner Fairing Wiring HELP

So I'm in the process of remounting my inner fairing after redoing my front end on a 2012 Street Glide. I have no heated grips, accent lights, cb radio. I am confused as to where the circled plugs go, if anywhere. Do they get plugged in anywhere or are they just there for accessories like heated grips, accent lights, CB radio, etc. (I think) Any help would be great. Trying to finish up my front end before Memorial Weekend. Thank you.

I'm not a tech so don't take this as Gospel, but if all you did was a front end swap and didn't disconnect anything--and there's no reason to do so--just button it up and enjoy your ride. I've done chrome lowers on my ride and no electrical was involved.

If you are serious about doing your own work on your bike, get the HD service manual.

Welcome to the forums. If you did not mess with any wires when you took it apart, then just button it back up. I am not an expert but I play one on TV, and I slept at an Holiday INN last night, lmao. IMO the extra wires are for accessories you mentioned. One wiring harness for all the touring bikes, with plugs left empty for accessories that are not required on the bike being made. Let us see that bad boy when its put back together.

The small plug with blue n black wires is for fender tip light. Another one is for heated grips. You should be just fine. Enjoy your weekend

As long as everything in your fairing is connected you should be fine. Did you remove any wiring while doing the swap?

For foture reference it's a good idea to number/label plugs when unplugging.

Thanks all. I had to unplug everything to take off the entire fairing. So the 4 plugs are supposed to be unplugged for accessories.

Always good shop practice to label all connectors you remove in a faring exchange job or any other job for that matter. Saves a lot of head scratching later. You can use masking tape or write on the edge of the connector with a Sharpie. The key is labeling them so you know what you touched.
