Where is extra socket located?
I know my 2018 Tri-glide has extra connectors for adding optional electrical components.
I need one to plug in my mini-love jugs. I want to connect so the fans turn off and on when the ignition is turned off and on.
I don't the power to the fans to be always on.
Can anyone tell or tell and show me how to find the extra connectors?
I suspect one such connector is used for my HD fan that the dealer installed with a switch on the inner fairing.
There must be one or two additional .... somewhere.
TIA

I had read on another forum that this plug could be found in front of battery on later year models. I have also read that a lot of people have given up on finding this connector and wired straight to battery using fan off/on switch.

are you looking to add switches to the two button panels ? If so, I can assist as I have added additional fog lights, garage opener, and tour pak lighting. There is a harness available for each side that gives you the options. and oh yeah, the socket is located under the left cover ...

The plug you are looking for is located in front of the battery and is burred with the other wiring usually to the left side of the area.. If it already has something plugged into it you can but a "Y" cable to multiply the plugs.

Have not been able to find such a wire myself although I am sure there in one somewhere.

Another question is how do I wire the "hot" bare wire from the fan to the power of the plug since I don't have a 'male' plug for the fan, just a red and a black wire with bare ends.
TIA

If you can't find a match, go online to any electronics outlet and get a M/F pair, you'll have to cut off the old one. I wouldn't just hardwire it without some sort of disconnect. I think NAPA and places like Auto Zone carry them. You might need to get two separate individual sets if you can't find one for a pair of wires..

What ever you put on be sure and fuse it at the power source. The fans should also have a switch mounted on the fan mount. Do you have the fans yet ? They should have come with complete directions. You can also mount with a snap switch that is switched by heat. Then you can wire it to a hot source and they will cycle on and off after you kill the engine until the cylinders cool off then it turns off. Mine work that way very well.
