Default Wards fans connector question

I ordered a second set of fans this time chrome but couldn't figure out what connector I need. What is the HD B+ connector? I have a battery tender pigtail, does it plug in to that?

The B+ is were i plug my heated seat into, no power when the bike is off so i would guess if your trying to use the thermal switch it would not cool after you turn off the bike.

I connect mine directly to the battery, use the optional thermal switch, done. That way your fans can do their proper cool down cycles after you turn off the bike....and come on at the right time to keep the engine cooler longer as you ride

I'm pretty sure the B+ is hot all the time coming direct from battery. That's what I used for power source and the fan's run fine when bike is shut off.

Your correct, I'm using the other plug for my seat.

This is from Jasons page
The B+ is NOT the 4 position Deutsch connector controlled by the ACC switch on the dash.
