    Default Identify these connectors

    I have a 2018 F3T SE6 model
    It has the new digital dash
    Under the tailpiece are 2 unused connectors
    The colours are as follows:-

    Wire colours

    Connector 1
    Purple
    Purple/Black stripe
    Green
    Green/Black Stripe

    Connector 2

    White
    Black
    Orange
    Black
    Green
    Green/Black Stripe

    Can anyone identify what these were used for
    Also I want to add an additional Brake light Can I use any of those unused wire to give me the + & - power to it

    The radio mounts under the tail piece and the tail light wires run through there as well.

    I’m not sure
    These are the type of connectors that the wires are connected to
    I don’t know the name of this type of connector and if you can purchase them to make up your own connectors like you can with the Superseal connectors that were used on my previous Spyder RT

    A test light should help to find what is energized and when. I find a test light to be indispensable for situation like yours.

    Those connectors in the pictures are Delphi/Packard GT 150 Connectors.

    The 16 pin connector in the picture may be the CIC1 connector. Connects main harness to the tail harness. Can't be sure because from the picture I cannot tell where in the chassis that connector is located. The brake light wire is a white 18 gauge. Located in position P on the connector. One of the outer terminals.

    On a 2018. The radio is in the gauge cluster. Not in the tail as on previous years.

    The 6 pin connector in the picture may be the Can Bus lines. Be careful with that one.

    You can grab the brake light WHITE anywhere back there. These are the colors.

    Thanks o Rattlebars and the others that posted information Ref those connectors

    I Fitted an extra Brake light to the rear of the F3T
    When I purchased my Shad 58X top box I also purchased their Brake light unit that supposed to go under the top box mounting plate
    Because the mounting plate is on my Rack I have fitted it below the rack

    I decided to use one of the 2 connectors not in use under the tail piece of my 2018 F3T
    (These are blanked off)
    I think they are for the Can-Am OEM top case which can have an extra Brake light fitted
    The connector that has the White wire ( Brake light power) this is the one you can tap into along with a Black wire (Earth wire)
    I use Posi-Taps and ran the wire to the Shad Brake light unit
    Securing the wire underneath the rack
    The Shad extra Brake light is attached to the rack using 3m automotive tape

    Very happy with the result
