Hi folks,
I was into the dealership for my first 600 mile maintenance last Tuesday, and I ordered a specific accessory plug for feeding my Garmin 276C GPS. There are 2 accessory outlets on the Canbus system that allow one to drain power: 1 in the front, under the tank panel that hides the battery (it is zip tied to a framepart, and has a rubber cover on it), and 1 in the back under the seat (which I wasn't able to locate yet up until now).
There are 3 wires on the accessory outlet: 1 with a brown wire (must be ground), 1 with a red-and-white wire (should be +12V), and thirdly 1 with a I think blue-and-another-color wire. Does anybody know the function of this wire? The dealer tech couldn't answer very definitive, he thought it was a wire to power instrument lighting or the like, but he was not sure at all. He indicated however that the +12V would stay on for 15 to 30 seconds after the ignition was turned off.
As a complement let me tell you that the brown and red-and-white wire are positioned in the connector side by side, whereas the third wire is positioned on top of the connector between the 2 other wires, if that helps.
Rather than do the guessing, I would like to rely on the wisdom of this forum to find out the function of the third wire? Does anybody know?
I will receive my accessory connector tomorrow in the snailmail, so would appreciate knowing how to wire it to my Garmin 276C power cable.
Thx
Luc
