Default 05 sportsman 700EFI & Kimpex seat

I bought a Kimpex seat with heated grips and rear brake light. Can someone please help me connecting it.

it says
one wire to the accessorie wire
one wire to rear light assemly brake light
one wire to rear light assemly parking light
one wire to rear light assemly ground circuit

Can someone help me find these connection spots and how to connect them

Thanks in advance

I popped the seat off my Sp 450 and took a cheap 12 volt tester (the one with sharp pointed end) and clamp on the other end for ground.
Just check each wire and see the ones you need.

The seat wires should be marked and come with a color code list.
do you have that , instead of one wire to here .....one wire to here one wire to here....ETC....

under the seat you will have tail-lights and brake lights.........For the accessory wire you made need to go off the 12 volt acc. plug as this will be fused and protected already.........On other thing you can do ......And what I would do for the hand-grips heat.....Is to put a separte switch installed next the the driver info center and this can still come off the 12 acc. plug wire under the POD.........You can also use the wires from the factory for the rear work lights the wiring is there unless you put bulbs in and a switch for them....Caper........

I followed the brake light tubing back to under the seat and found where the wires come out. Issue is there are 5 wires. Can you tell me what color is what ?

thanks

Brown is always ground on Polaris, others you will have to probe with test light like Mongrol said. There used to be a wiring diagram in the back of the owners manual, dont know if thats true with yours, take the brake light cover off and see which wire gooes to which side of the bulb, one should be tail light the other brake light,

Look under left rear fender, there should be a taped up wire, this is an accessory wire works off the key, is intended for a winch but should work , there should also be one under the front plastic in front of the handlebars, would be better for the grips.
