Hey all. I`m just trying to finish off a Dan-Marc install and want to power it from the 5A accessory circuit. I found the fuse panel, I see what the wire looks like, I see where it goes into the wirng harness, then,...........where the hell does it go? I`ve read a few posts talking about it being near the starter but I can`t find it. I did see a sort of clear vinyl boot covering several connectors but it wasn`t in there. And I did see one thread about having to lift the battery tray to get it. I have a `98 Standard. Do I have to lift the tray?
thanks

I did see that pic and the other one showing the standard. Under my cover it looks a little different,...no plug. I`ll have to dig a little deeper and hope it hasn`t been PO`d. (Previous Ownered)

But the Acc. plug is in the same area. Mine was tucked up in there hiding. You might have to root around a little. |

the acc plugs on my interstate were buried in the harness behind the center cover. there are plugs that look just like it in plain sight but they are 5v connections for either the cb radio or headsets can't remember. on my standard they appear to be right there under the side cover. haven't got my meter out to verify that's what they are yet though

Wouldn't it be better to use that 5v acc lead to power a relay that feeds a fuse panel? I think it's what most Valk owner have done. Lots of info on how to do in the forum. I did mine and have since powered quad horns, radio amp, heated gloves--and my Dan Marc--all from the 5v acc lead.

Thanks all.
Found it in 10 seconds once I knew what I was looking for.. I thought I was going to see a semi-clear nylon boot with a bullet terminal in it. Once I knew it was a black boot, I saw it in a few seconds tucked very neatly away. I really should start wearing my glasses! Been fighting wearing them for about a year now. Was hoping to hit 50 before having to start wearing glasses.
I could power an aux fuse panel with relays but right now, this is all I need to power and the solenoid only draws a little over 1 amp. Should I need to power more in the future I can certainly upgrade.
