vespadaddy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Does anyone know if the accessory plug has enough juice to run a heated jacket liner? I know the bike is supposed to make enough juice, but I'm wondering if the wires that supply the accessory plug are of a sufficient gauge to supply adequate power. Or do I need to just hook the heated clothing pigtail straight to the battery, as I have done on previous bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedavis Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I installed an aftermarket 12V/15A accessory socket wired to the battery on the right side of the dash where the FJ has a hole for one. I think I used a Bikemaster socket (I got it for a different project that didn't happen) and there are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespadaddy Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 I assume you then had heavier gauge wires that ran straight to the battery terminals. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct?Yes, a heavier wire (maybe 14 guage) to the battery terminals with a 15A inline fuse. I've used it to power heated jacket and gloves.
