VEHICLE SYSTEM CABLE
The vehicle system cable provides power to the control unit. The
yellow-fused lead provides the receiver "hot" and transmitter enable
connection. The black lead provides the control unit ground. An optional
red-fused lead (Option CC01) is available for ignition switch standby
control. The vehicle system plug (P1) is used for the speaker and option
connections. The vehicle system cable is shown in Figure 11.
Install the vehicle system cable as follows:
1. Run the cables to the battery area or to Ignition Switch A+. Cut the
cable to the length required.
2. Connect a ring terminal on the end of the lead, if required, and connect
the lead to battery (+).
3. Secure the fused lead to the power/control cable by opening the yellow
fuse assembly and then closing it over the power/control cable and the
black vehicle system cable.
4. Tie down all cables (including option cables) with cable ties.

Installation Notes: Figure 10 shows the use of a customer- fabricated,
under-seat mounting plate. This mounting plate provides mounting
holes and slots for securing connectors, fuses, and cables on some
Harley-Davidson motorcycles (such as model FXRP) . The mounting
plate is especially helpful for large installations.
In addition, banana plugs may be installed in the power cables as
shown in Figure 10 to provide for quick connections to a battery
charger, if desired.
After power connections are made to the power/control and vehicle system
cables, run all of the cables (along with any option cables) to the control
unit using one of the following methods:
For motorcycle models equipped with a gas tank fairing
The cable may be routed from the saddle area, under the fairing, around
the left side of the gas tank filler pipe, and up to the area of the control
unit. The fairing may have to be notched to provide entrance and exit
space. Run the power/control cable as directed in Steps a through c.
a. Remove the three screws securing the fairing-- two at the end nearest
the handlebars and one near the saddle. Next, unscrew and remove
the gas tank cap and lift off the fairing. Replace the gas cap
immediately.
Always replace the gas cap as soon as the fairing is
replaced/removed. This is necessary to reduce the
possibility of an explosion as well as to prevent drill
shavings or other debris from getting into the gas tank
WARNING
b. Run the cables from the saddle area up the left side of the gas tank to
the area of the control unit (see Figure 12).
It may be necessary to notch a portion of the fairing at
the control unit end and at the saddle area to provide
entrance and exit holes for the cable. The entrance and
exit cutaway holes are required to permit the fairing to
be remounted flush to the gas tank.
