NOTE

This instruction sheet references service manual information. A service manual for this year/model motorcycle is required for this installation. One is available from a Harley-Davidson dealer.

Electrical Overload

NOTICE

It is possible to overload the vehicle's charging system by adding too many electrical accessories. If the combined electrical accessories operating at any one time consume more electrical current than the vehicle's charging system can produce, the electrical consumption can discharge the battery and cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system. (00211d)

WARNING

When installing any electrical accessory, be certain not to exceed the maximum amperage rating of the fuse or circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit being modified. Exceeding the maximum amperage can lead to electrical failures, which could result in death or serious injury. (00310a)

The amplifier installed with this kit requires up to 8 amps more current from the electrical system.

AMPLIFIER HARNESS INSTALLATION

NOTE

These tips help make sure all wiring fits under the seat, especially in multiple amplifier installations:

Begin routing the vehicle-side amplifier harness from the large 18-way amplifier connector [288B], moving forward on the vehicle. The large connector does not fit through narrower passages.
Route all wire harnesses under the frame rail to avoid pinching by covers or the seat.
Take care to route ALL amplifier harness branches away from spark plug wires. Close proximity induces spark noise into the audio system.
When routing wires from one side of the vehicle to the other, tuck harnesses under the frame tray behind the battery to keep the battery compartment accessible.
Route the six-way black, pink-wired audio connectors under the right frame rail, into the right side cover. Bundle in front of the ABS module (if present).
Route the six-way, gray Data Link Connectors (DLCs) along the left frame rail. Bundle the connectors in a pocket of the frame in front of the battery, under the wire trough along the frame backbone.

See Figure 10. Route the vehicle-side amplifier harness (1) in the saddlebag mounting area, beginning the vehicle. Route the harness around the rear wheel sprocket, following the saddlebag support rail.

1	Secondary amplifier harness
2	Cable strap
3	Fender support
4	Connector [288B]

Figure 10. Harness Routing

Route the harness:

a. behind and underneath the frame,

b. into the underseat battery area.

Use cable straps (2) to tie the harness loosely to the saddlebag support. Use the large hole near the saddlebag rear attachment point or one of the cable strap slots along the bottom of the support.

Temporarily install the left saddlebag into the support assembly. When sufficient clearance is confirmed, tighten the cable straps. Remove the saddlebag.

a. Confirm that the vehicle-side harness connectors reach the saddlebag connectors.

b. Confirm that the amplifier harness connectors and harness routing are clear of all moving parts.

c. Confirm that no contact is made at full extension and compression of the shock absorber.

NOTE

Continue routing the harness forward on the vehicle.

See Figure 16. Locate the black, four-way Molex connector [296A] near the back of the underseat area for models with stock Tour-Pak or, inside fairing for models without Tour-Pak. FLHX/FLTRX models: Install jumper harness (11) provided with fairing amplifier (part number 69200489) to connector [162] (8) coming from the fairing. FLHTCU/FLHTK models: Install interconnect (11) (part number 69200714) harness with two 16-way ([162C] and [162D]) and two four-way ([296A] and (297B]) connectors provided with primary amplifier install from connector [162] (7) With ONLY ONE Stage II amplifier installed in the rear: Remove the plug from the four-way [296A] connector identified above. Connect the amplifier harness [296B] (10). With TWO or more Stage II amplifiers installed in the rear: See Figure 16. Plug the socket side of the audio input harness from this kit into connector [296A] identified above. Connect [296B] of each successive harness into the corresponding pin side of the input harness (up to three amplifiers).

Locate the gray six-way Data Link Connector (DLC) [91A] in the electrical caddy.

a. Remove the cap.

b. Pull connector [91A] back through the electrical caddy to a location under the seat, behind the caddy.

c. Plug in gray six-way socket connector [91B] from the amplifier harness to connector [91A] under the seat.

d. Route gray six-way pin connector [91A] from the amplifier harness into the electrical caddy.

e. Insert the weather cap removed earlier into the new pin connector [91A]. Use a cable strap (17) from the kit to attach the tether to the harness.

NOTE

If more than two amplifiers or other accessories already use the ground post of the battery, use one of the frame ground studs.
Only one Battery+ Three-Way Y Connector (Part No. 70270-04A) is needed for up to a FOUR amplifier installation. If installing more than TWO amplifiers, an AUDIO IN Three-Way Y Connector (included in THIS kit) is needed.

Route the battery terminal branch to the battery terminals, but DO NOT connect the battery cables now.

Route the longer harness branch (with six-way socket connector [36B]) to the right side of the vehicle. Use cable straps (3) to tie the harness loosely to the saddlebag support. Use the large hole near the saddlebag rear attachment point or one of the cable strap slots along the bottom of the support.

Temporarily install the right saddlebag into the support assembly. When sufficient clearance is confirmed, tighten the cable straps. Remove the saddlebag.

a. Confirm that the vehicle-side harness connector [36B] reaches saddlebag connector [36A], installed earlier.

b. Confirm that the amplifier harness connector and harness routing are clear of all moving parts.

c. Confirm that no contact is made at full extension and compression of the shock absorber.

Wiring Diagram Information

Wire Color Codes

For Solid Color Wires: See Connector/Wiring Diagram Symbols (Typical) . The alpha code identifies wire color.

For Striped Wires: The code is written with a slash (/) between the solid color code and the stripe code. For example, a trace labeled GN/Y is a green wire with a yellow stripe.

Wiring Diagram Symbols

See Connector/Wiring Diagram Symbols (Typical) . Brackets [] indicate connector numbers. The letter inside the brackets identifies whether the housing is a socket or pin housing.

A=Pin: The letter A and the pin symbol after a connector number identifies the pin side of the terminal connectors.

B=Socket: The letter B and the socket symbol after a connector number identifies the socket side of the terminal connectors. Other symbols found on the wiring diagrams include the following:

Diode: The diode allows current flow in one direction only in a circuit.

Wire break: The wire breaks are used to show option variances or page breaks.

No Connection: Two wires crossing over each other in a wiring diagram that are shown with no splice indicating they are not connected together.

Circuit to/from: This symbol indicates a complete circuit diagram on another page. The symbol is also identifying the direction of current flow.

Splice: Splices are where two or more wires are connected together along a wiring diagram. The indication of a splice only indicates that wires are spliced to that circuit. It is not the true location of the splice in the wiring harness.

Ground: Grounds can be classified as either clean or dirty grounds. Clean grounds are identified by a (BK/GN) wire and are normally used for sensors or modules.

NOTE

Clean grounds usually do not have electric motors, coils or anything that may cause electrical interference on the ground circuit.

Dirty grounds are identified by a (BK) wire and are used for components that are not as sensitive to electrical interference.

Twisted pair: This symbol indicates that the two wires are twisted together in the harness. This minimizes the circuit's electromagnetic interference from external sources. If repairs are necessary to these wires, they should remain as twisted wires.
