What have you used your extra electrical leads for
I've had a Nomad since 1999, and know about the electrical leads under the tank and and seat, but have never used them. It would be nice to have used them for a GPS unit, but would need the unit first.
Just curious what gadgetry the rest of you have made use of them on? Login or Register to Remove Ads |

What have you used your extra electrical leads for
In addition to the electrical leads under the seat and tank (mentioned in the Owner's Manual), I also found a unused electrical and ground lead in the headlight shell. I thought I would use them to power my tachometer and LED voltmeter but I discovered the electrical lead was hot all the time whether the key was on or not. I did use the ground. If I had a GPS, I would probably use the lead in the headlight shell to power it so the GPS would stay on after I shut down the engine.
In probing around trying to learn more about my new bike (2006 Nomad), I found the lead under the seat was only showing five (5) volts which seems odd. I put my meter across the battery and it showed 12 volts so I know my meter was working correctly. Wonder if anybody else has experienced this.

Sorry, Jlamz, but I haven't looked under the tank yet. I just assumed they were there because of the Owner's Manual. Maybe I should not believe everything I read.

They're under the seat from what I saw when I put the Mustang on. There's 2 from what I remember and looked on schematics on Gadget's sight and there they were, same spot I saw them.

In response to mercianbike's finding of 5 volts on one of the leads under the seat, this might indicate there is a high resistance ground someplace on the lead that is bleeding off some of the voltage.

I've been thinking about using one to connect up a 12v power socket so I can charge my Zune and cell phone while on the road.

Probably nothing a good chiropractor couldn't cure :-/ :-/ By the way, the hot and ground in the H/L bucket work perfect for driving/spot lights.
