do i have the wrong wire?

[mark81]

ive read several posts about a 5 amp accessory circuit under the right side cover. I am adding an outlet to plug in a phone charger. I decided this would be perfect for that. I found the wires one male and one female bullet. I would assume that the male is ground and female is power. I checked polarity to be sure. I only have 5 volts and a good connection. is that what its is supposed to be. I know a lot of automotive sensors have a 5v reference signal to the computer.  is this what I found? has everyone mistakenly stated its a 5amp circuit meaning a 5volt circuit. this is on a 2000 interstate so could be wires for cb or radio

female plug is the +5v it has a red solid red wire male plug is ground it is black

Nope not it. I think you have the passenger cb wire.

You can probably charge a phone without a relay... a lot of us use
the acc wire only to trigger one-or-more relays for our one-or-more
accessories...

you're right meathead. any clue where the correct connectors are. the post I just read only said they are buried deep and a pita to get to

hubcapsc a picture is worth a thousand words. but I still cant find it. I guess its taped up in the harness and not easily accessible like what is shown

But it is there... look for that boot... we don't have new bikes,
who knows what some previous owner did? Maybe the boot is
gone, and there's just the wires...

I had to remove the radio battery and tray but it was there tucked in behind the starter.

thanks for the help on this and all the other issues this forum has helped with, past and future

The one on my standard was pretty easy to locate. The one on my I/S was near impossible. Mine was tucked up behind the center cover. Also make sure the PO hasn't already got it connected to something. Do you have a Dan Marc or air horn or extra lights that he might have used the Acc. Wire to trigger ? If not its going to be inside a little rubber boot. Look for that . It took me all day to locate mine, persistence will pay off.
