Electrics how to.....

    Hope someone can help.   Today I started installing a Jims cylinder head cooling fan on my 2013 Softail Slim. All good getting it bolted on.  But the connector they supplied is a Deutch 4 pin and my wiring harness spare is a six pin - which I use for a power vision anyway.  The instructions said " if no suitable connector is available, 'simply' connect to another accessory wire". I assume they mean splice into e.g. a live headlight wire or something like that.  But a bit beyond me to find the right wire I suspect......splicing is fine. Has anyone come across the same problem and have a solution - like an adaptor plug that will give you multiple (6 and 4) Deutch connectors off the existing 6. That would make life simple.

    cheers, Marvin

    Mate your powervision wouldn't work plugged into acc, that's your ecu plug.
    You have another one around there somewhere.

     Thanks Will and Nomada.  Went through the WS manual today and there's no spare that I can see, only the Deutsch 6 pin.  Also looked at the section under the voltage regulator and all plugs used - confirmed in the WS manual too.  Checked again under the seat and no spare.  I guess they only have the Deutsch 6 pin as that's all that's regularly used by the workshops.  Bugger!

    rod, Will post some pics of the job.

    cheers.
