Hey guys, I today my RAM mount and 12 volt cable came for my new GPS, so I got the mount mounted, and went to plug in my cable to the acc. plug, and I have no power there, I tried the cable on my foreman and worked fine, and also I have my hand and thumb warmers being fed from the hot wire into the plug, and I also have no power to them, and I haven't used them since winter, so I don't know how long it's been off

I checked all the fuses up front, and they were all good, so now I'm a little lost on what to look into?

Is there a seperate inline fuse on the wire for the plug somewhere?

Any ideas??

PS this is on my 700

 

check you ground / or your splices at the hand and thumb warmers..... the inline fuse if any would be in the warmers

 

did you have the key on??

 

yep, I'm going to unhook my warmers, and see if one of their wires isn't shorted or somethin goofy

 

ok, so after cleanin the grounds, unhookin my warmers, I thought back to when I put my front light bar on, I used the accessory power with a plug on it, under the front hood, I cut off the plug, and spliced the 2 wires from the plug, and the wire to feed my lights, and everything worked fine, but it wouldn't start, so I only hooked my lead to the hot wire of the 2, so, I unwired my lights, and hooked the 2 that were originally together in the plug together, and the socket worked, and the bike fired up, so I hooked in the wire to feed my lights, and everything still worked fine

So, from all this, the 12 volt plug is grounded throught the plug for accessory power under the front hood

Also before when I had all 2 wires hooked together, it wouldn't start for some reason, but now when I hooked them all together, it runs good and everything works fine, so I don't know what to think?
