Acc. Switch

[TJ Willy]

I have Orange, and Orange/Red (and black ground...) to my switch.

Can I tap into either of those orange wires? I have the wiring diagram and it just shows the wires running to the two main harnesses.

what is it your trying to do ?

my orange wire is tied into my spots to make them stay on while on high beams so dont see why you couldn't tap into it.


after looking at my diagram I have saved I guess I am tied into the orange/red wire... if you want the acc switch to control what ever your tieing into (your new spots I presume) then yes the orange would be the right one.

The ACC switch is for the "Air Conditioning Control".

I just want a source of power when ignition is turned on. I am wiring a power to a garage door opener (instead of using battery).

Basically taking a standard 12v garage door opener. Soldering in a HD odometer reset button and mounting button on inner fairing down low. Then sending 12v power to the remote so I don't have to worry about changing batteries out later on.

Any other easy sources of power (up in fairing) would be cool to if y'all know of any... I just chose the ACC switch b/c it is easy to isolate and not wrapped up in tape or that shielding stuff.

Gonna velcro mount the remote on top of the radio.

Just tested my soldered in odometer button and it works great with battery in remote. Just need to get it spliced to power.

Of course, I can't test that b/c my ignition switch is in the garage floor.

Yeah... probably the Orange wire gives juice to the light on the accessory switch and the Orange Red passes power to the Accessory in question. Or the other way around.

there's a hot and a ground in the same loom as your headlight wire... at least on my '06 there is. runs out of loom to a small black rectangular two pin female plug. I ran a amplified antenna on it for a while should work fine for what your wanting to do.

Cool. I will check the book. Only problem with those wiring schematics is they don't show if/when a wire is hot.... least I don't think they do.

I do believe that orange is the light system on the HD's .........

TJ, You may have skimmed past <-this-> tech thread on garage door openers.

My ACC switch is wired to the DVD player.

Yeah... I tried that... but the travel delay from Gray's house and mine made it more of an inconvenience....

Have you ever been a long way from home and accidentally hit your remote and then worry that your garage is sitting wide open?

I have.
