Help! What is this?

[peedab21]

03 model, has heated grips, one battery tender style plug coming up from battery under the throttle, audiovox cruise control, and one plug I have no idea.

So here are some pics, can anybody put this to rest for me?

The plug rests under the rider seat then follows the frame down the left side to a black box under the pass. seat, from the box a red and black wire leave to meet the wiring harness for the tail section. Here are the pics. Also the the actual plug looks like an audio plug.

I'm sure someone more experienced than I will chime in, but my guess would be for a heated vest.

Kinda what I thought but can't find any clothing with that style of a plug. Wouldnt a vest be to much of a draw for tailight wires?

#1. What's at the other end of the wire?

#2. Looks like a helmet speaker/communications wire that would pass between the seat and tank.

I'd follow the wires, and either use them or undo them. Good luck.

Ack!!!

Don't touch it! Or the whole world will blow up!

The black box is picking up key-switched power and ground from the taillights, probably. What it is is anybody's guess if it doesn't have a label or logo on it.

Aren't used bikes fun? Mine had an RJ-11 wire up to the right handgrip. Other end was cut. Who knows, who cares? Get rid of it.

The other end of the wire is tapped to a hot and a ground in the taillight wiring harness, yes it does look communication wire but its hot, dont ask how I know.

The bike has had a communication system on it because there is a PTT button hard wired on the left control lever.

Just a guess but I am thinking scorpion alarm system that has been removed.

Here's my guess. The wires from the tail-light are being used as a source of a 12V (ignition) switched voltage to whatever the multipin cable went to but is no longer there?

The two pics of the plug are the same, just on is of what the end looks like, it has no pins and likes and rca jack on your TV. Does Gerbrings clothing have this style plug? can't find any pics of their connections on their website.

Not Gerbings.

I vote for a com system

The hell with it! I just tucked away nice and neat under the pass. seat. If I or someone figures out what it is great, if not F it.

Thanks for help though guys. Movin right along to the next project.

Disconnect those wires from the tail light harness, pull the whole thing out, and install a Blue Sea fuse block!
