- 2017+ Touring Electrical Connection Upgrade/Update Kit 69201599A. This particular project is on my 2018 Harley Davidson Road King Special. This kit is needed if you want to add accessories without splicing into your factory harnesses/wiring. Overall pretty straight forward installation process, but the instructions are hard to follow. Always disconnect battery when working with electrical systems!
Gotta give credit when credit is due. I just finished installing the electric uograde kit on my 2020 Heritage Classic and without this video it wouldnt have gotten done.. THANK YOU!! If you're ever in NYC or surrounding areas let me know becayse a steak and beer dinner is on me!
Sounds nice!
Thanks for putting this video up. I was totally turned around until I watched you get yours installed. Your show n tell on the connector & how to add the pin saved the day. Thanks bunches. 👊
Glad it helped!
Thank you !! Without this video I would not been able to get this SIMPLE project completed.. Too many confusing instructions that came with the part(s). Only mentioning it cause read it in the below comments - put some light on the work area.. Again thank you !!
This really clarified the procedure. Step by step. Straight forward installation. Two thumbs up great video.
Thank you. This is the best video to date that I’ve found. I wouldn’t have been able to do it myself with out your help.
Cheers
I looked everywhere for help and what you did was awesome
You have the only video that shows how
I have a low rider 2018 , your detailed communication on the install gave me complete confidence in installing mine
I was going to give up and take it into H-D shop you saved me $
Excellent video thank you for taking the time to make it, its a shame Harley don't do this as a service to their loyal clients on You Tube.
thats why I made the video. Seems so complicated if you read the instructions, but in reality, its pretty simple.
I read the original instructions and couldn't figure out where to start. This is an excellent video that does a great job explaining the install. It took me about a half hour, going very slowly and deliberately.
Thanks for the video! Got it done last night with your help
This guy. Hes the real hero. Been trying to figure this sh!# out for n hour. Thanks man
Excellent job, thank you very much for making this video. It saved my ass. Just finished installing on my 2020 SGS. Now I just have to wire up my new heated seat and I'm all done.
Welcome, glad it was helpful. Harley instructions suck big time
@@BeardedTeslaGuy are you positive about the orientation of the 3 Accessory wires on the Harley harness for getting power to my seat . I heard you say red is constant power, purple is switched power and black is ground of course???
Excellent instructions. It helped me. Now to connect my garage kit
Much appreciate the break down! Made this a very simple project. Thank you very much for the help.
Cheers
Awesome video! Had it done in 15 minutes. I really appreciate it!
cheers
Great video, very detailed and much needed clarity to get the job done. I have a 2020 heritage classic V107. IMO HD should have these pre-installed in their bikes the same way the pig-tail for a battery tender is in place. I think HD wants you to buy this kit and screw up the job so they can do the job and possibly void the warranty. Why else would the instructions be trash?lol. Don't get me wrong I love my bike but c'mon HD...They put LED lights in the front but forget about the super dim rear of the bike. At least come up with an option of a "Convenience Package" where you get the battery pigtail, this electric pigtail and rear LED lights. Sorry for venting but I /we shouldn't have to take apart more than one piece on a new bike to put in a Bluetooth sound system.
Great job! Clear as a day! Huge THANKS!!!
Cheers
Hi, very well and clearly explained. Thank you 🙏
I could not have done this without your help. If you were in my garage right now I would kiss you.
hahahaha, I TOTALLY get it, hence the video. HD instructions suck!
Just finished putting the kit on my 2018 freewheeler. Couldn't have done it without your directions. Harley Davidson directions were just confusing.
Absolutely, this is awesome just did it on my 2018 Deluxe. the white pin is a nasty!.. Im sure without the video I would have just spliced into it. I was installing Heated Grips.
Great to hear!
Worked to perfection, great instructions 👍
Perfecto!
Thanks man .. great vid ... I'm installing the heated seat and this was perfect ...
Perfect!
Thanks man! Huge help!!
No problem!
Nailed it! Took a lot of guess work out of the way!
Glad it helped!
Thanks! This saved me a lot of time and misery!
Welcome
Thanks for sharing this is exactly what I was looking for. The only question I have is why does Harley tell you that you need this kit for heated grips? I'm installing heated grips on my 2018 CVO Road Glide and I don't see why this is kit is required? Am I wrong?
Great video your video was the best one out there
I agree. Great video. Thanks for posting. I’m adding a heated seat to 2019 SG. I already have 2 Gerbing heated jacket controls. I’m thinking about heated grips. We ride all year in Boston. I wondered if that’s going to overload the battery. Thanks again.
Nah, you won’t overload the battery. Anything to extend the riding season
Thanks again
thanks just installed the wiring kit on my 2020 FLHPT Police Electra Glide. Got a great deal on a takeoff 2020 heated CVO Ultra seat
Ed, just saw your text. I’m preparing to install heated seat on my 2019 SG. How did your install go? How do you like the comfort of the new seat? How do you like having a heated seat? Thanks
@@mikedarcheable the step by step directions are great in this video for installing the harness but I had other issues due to my bike being a Police bike. The pins are different on the Police bike wiring harness and an HD mechanic couldn't figure it out. The seat is great and luckily I'm in FL.
@@edhickey3163 thanks Ed. Hope it doesn’t get to chilly down in Florida!
Invaluable help. Many thanks 👍
Glad to hear it
The 3 wires on the harness you said that the black wire was the ground? Isn't that hooked up to the Positive side of the battery terminal?
ooops my bad
Great vid, you would think the harness would provide a heated grip connection but doesn't.... I copied your heated grip video for power/ground.. thanks!
Very helpful! Thankyou!! 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Terrific video. Question for you: If I’m only looking to use switched power, do I still need to install the lead to the positive terminal? Will the purple wire that’s already running to the 325b suffice for switched power? Thanks!
Im not sure honestly
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I did the install this weekend. I only need switched power and didn't need to run the cable to the positive battery terminal. Thanks again for the super helpful video.
I installed a heated seat connection on my 2015 ultra classic. When I went to install the upgrade kit 69201599A on my 2020 Streetglide, I was totally confused. I could not have installed this device if it weren't for your video. Cannot thank you enough! One problem, now my Car play does not work. any suggestions?
Awesome to hear! I don't know what to tell ya about CarPlay. Try to download a fresh install of the software on the unit.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I'll let you know, thanks!
Dude, thank you! You saved me $$$ I owe you a beer
Cheers
Good video. I don't think the secondary on that plug should come right out. I pulled up like you then it unlocks, then I used a safety pin in the smaller t part of the plastic opening and pulled the white plug out the back, then my new pin can only go in one way, then push that secondary lock back in.
Thanks for sharing
If you don't need constant battery connection to anything, can you skip the battery cable, and just install the harness? Then use the free leads to wire to your accessory? GPS in my case. It's a 12 volt accessory and I only want it to come on with the bike. Does the 325B connection supply 12v power when bike is switched on? Thanks.
Great video
Cheers
Great video! I was about to install the P/N 69201599A on my 2018 FLHP, but realized there is no power on the 325b connector. Fuse seems OK (checked with ohmometer), any ideas?
Thank you for at great video. I miss the wire form the positive on the battery to the connector - do you by any chance know where I can get a new one ? I dont know the name for it, so hard for me to google it :)
I'm using this to install handlebar speakers, i still connect the speakers to the battery terminals correct, only difference would be instead of tapping directly into a wire I splice the speaker to the wires on end of the pig tail correct? Also will this provide continuous power to the speakers even when the bike is off? Or will it only provide power when turned on acc or turned on, don't want a dead battery lol
Hi!
Thanks for a great video.
I installed the connection kit without a problem. The purpose is to get power to my new Mustang heated seat.
Unfortunatelly nothing happens when I try to get power to the seat (no lights, no heat).
So I've tried to measure when and where there are power in the connections. It seems that there is always power on the red one which is attached directly to the battery (as expected).
Black is ground and I would assume that purple would give power when the ignition switch is on? That seems to be the problem because there is no power coming through the purple connection.
I've measured directly in the connectionpoint (where the connection kit is installed) but there is no power at all coming to that connection regardless if ignition is on or not.
Because if ignition is on the purple wire should be powered right?
Do you know if this has a fuse that might have popped or where it is connected from the start?
Biker Regards from Sweden
Could be a bad fuse. The colored wire is accessory power, meaning when ignition is on
If you didn't want to buy this harness could you just splice into the purple and black wire on the connector already there for supplying heat power to a heated seat? With the harness do you need to attach the lead to the battery for the heated seat to work?
Possibly
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I just installed the harness without making the connection to the battery. Just incase anyone else has the same question.; The heated seat will work with accessory power without connecting the wire with the inline fuse to the battery. The wire going to the battery will provide power to accessories with the bike turned completely off. Great video by the way and H-D really should include this harness on bikes coming from the factory.
Thanks so much, im trying to wire in speakers as well. Are the connectors on the kit just 2 pin deutsch connectors?
Yea
Great Video Thank you!
I have a question did you use an opposite connector on your accessory you were installing so you can just plug them in or did u use the 3 pig tails?
Pig tail
@@BeardedTeslaGuy perfect TY so much for quick response.
Quick question, after I tuck the wires through, what steps do I take to put it all back together? Do I just :
1: tuck the wires through 2: insert the the small fuse 3: put the big main fuse back, 4: reconnect battery 5: covers back on 6: seat on 7: good to go to wire my speakers?
Should I leave all the fuses out and battery disconnected when I connect the speakers?
Leave the fuse out when wiring the speakers. Otherwise everything else is right on
@@BeardedTeslaGuy thanks so much. Got it done!! Great video!!
Just installed the heated seat!
Hey Michael did you go with a Harley seat or aftermarket. If so did you use the 3 wires coming off the Harley harness to get power or the 2 factory plugs on the harness??
@@seanwenchell1034 hey Sean. I bought the Harley seat and the additional wire connection. The video made it easy to install. Seat and wire cost about $950. Well worth it. I ride all year.
Good luck
Thank you for this video. I got this harness for my 2018 Street Bob to connect my new MTX speaker to it. Now I have music. But since this install, my ABS light has been on. Are there any plugs near the battery or the install location that I could have not plugged all the way in? Everything else seems to be fine.
Great video, couple of questions. The accessory I am connecting needs to be connected to a ground. do I still connect to ground side of battery. Also, you mention that you can connect more than one item that needs power. Can you be more specific how you do this.
You still need to ground. You can connect multiple items because there are I believe 3 power feeds
Thank You!!!
Great Video!!!
Cheers
Thaaaaank you!
Weeelllcccooommmeee haha
My heated grip instructions call for this harness,complete the install. I’m assuming I can tie into the leads, no connection for them.
yes
Thanks for the reply, saw your video on heated grip install. Have you had any issue's with the accessory connector or extra headlamp connector? Sufficient power, shortage, blown fuse....etc.? Operations normal? Thanks again.......
All normal, no issues.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Thanks....
I am changing my heated grips on my 2020 ultra. Do I still need the accessory kit as I already have heated grips?
Nope, it’ll be plug and play with existing hardware on the bike
@@BeardedTeslaGuy thank you. That’s what I thought.
I getting ready to install this upgrade on my bike. Question: I'm installing a Bluetooth sound system. Since the upgrade kit has an inline fuse coming off the positive terminal of the battery do i still use the inline fuse or the (Amp) equipment? The inline fuse for the equipment is 20amp.
Yea you’d be good
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Appreciate the quick response! Thank You!
Could you wire up more than one accessory using this kit?
sure
How do you utilize the auxiliary switches? When you install this harness does it bring power to the switches?
Yep
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Thank you
Are any of them 6 pin connecters?
Painfully slow to watch. "cut to the chase" applies here. Very informative.....finally.
If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. I'm sure the video was helpful for you, No reason to bash .
@@seanwenchell1034 Feedback is how people get better. My suggestion for you is to wipe the tears away and grow a thicker skin.
@@ralphlewis539 that's the best you've got SMH.. Not one other reviewer comments how this video is nothing but helpful and informative. If your so perfect make your own videos.
Will this kit work if I’m wanting to install wrap around brake light (touring pak) and rear speakers (touring pak) on my 18 street glide
Joshua Gower yes it should. I installed handlebar mounted speakers and powered them with this.
Are any of them 6 pin connecters.
Joshua Gower Have you bought your lights yet? I have brand new wrap around and side marker lights off my 2018 RGU. Changed them to smoked lenses when I bought it. Also your dealer should have a harness the will run lights and speakers and be an easy plug in under the seat.
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THAT PLUG LOCK COMPLETELY OFF IT ONLY NEEDS TO POP UP A LITTLE!
Going to be doing this to my 20 Road King shortly so thanks for the video but Dude, your sound quality sucks. Can baely hear you at times due to fingers rubbing the camera mike.
its the stupid GoPro Tripod, I don't have it anymore, piece of crap.
