• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage.

2022 RT S2S Accessory Connection Gremlin .. Help Please :)

Hey All.
I need some assistance with a non functioning accessory connection under the right side/throttle body panel. I had my Garmin Zumo XT2 harness and some light aux lights connected, to come on with the key. These items draw approx. 3A of power. Never an issue. Today, I installed a Lamonster Bright Ryder frunk light. I also was going to connected a switched relay switch so I could turn the aux lights off/on at my choice. I got everything connected and all worked fine .. until it didn't. The relay on the switch harness "clicked" and the aux lights went off/on depending on relay movement. It started ticking me off, so I just removed the switch harness and wired direct. The switch harness/relay was a cheap $10 ebay item rated at 10A. Thought that was enough, as the lights only draw 1.5A x 2. Now, after hard wiring everything up, NOTHING works :( I checked what I thought were the correct fuses, and nothing was blown. I checked the right side fuse box and looked at the 40A accessory fuse, and it looked fine. Not sure which 10/15/25A fuse to check, as none are listed as accessory. I pulled a few out at random, and all looked good. Everything else all works fine, such as all lights/gauges/windshield/etc. Starts up just fine. Again, all accessories I had connected were rated for a total of 7A. Thinking the glitchy relay popped something somewhere. So .. I played it smart and just stepped away for the time being. Any thoughts/input appreciated. Thx

** PS ** This is my first post with the new set up. How do I STOP the BELLS !! :)
 
One thing I didn't check is to see if the accessory connection has reversed polarity. Can't remember if I did this initially :(
 
Based on the wire size of the factory accessory connector I would not run more than 5 amps through it. I just looked at my manual (2024 RTL) that connector is fused for 5 amps only and it is listed as right side, top, #6 fuse GPS_Acc 5 Amps

That was indeed the issue, Thx !! In my 2022 manual, that fuse is not listed as GPS ACC. It is listed as DC Plugs VKEY. Pulled it and it was broke. Plugged in new one and all works well. Since it didn't pop, my amperage of accessories must be OK .. One can hope ?? Thank you
