DC PWR 3-pin connector
- Thread starter longlugs
- Start date
This is a non fused connection designed for power Input, rather than output... although it will be live with the sled running... it is the DC power that runs the ECU and fuel system... any issues down stream of this, or drawing too much current from this point can cause run-ability issues or other problems with your ECU/VR that could leave you stranded.
Definately do not run any motor/pump loads from this connection.
An AFR gauge pulls too much juice to use this connection.... the heater in the sensor pulls a fair amount of current.
If you use this and have ECU or VR issues later on... don't expect your warranty to cover it.
Longlugs, What are you planning on powering from this?
IMO, find and use the connection that is fused and use that. I believe you should be able to get the mating connector from NAPA/Carquest or a trailer supply... do not increase the size of the fuse above the factory installed 2-amp.
If you MUST connect here... and understand the above comments.

I'm trying to get a 12v feed for a Garmin GPS. I've always used the "Battery Tender" type plug located on the underside of the headlight on Pro's, but that connector is no longer there in the axys.
I'd prefer to find a safer feed if you can recommend a tie-in point.
If you can run it by installing no more than 2amp fuse in line with the load... sure.

I just checked in with my contacts at Polaris.
AXYS-Mtn sleds have a fused 2amp connector on them.
Maybe someone can chime in with pics of the connector And the fuse??

I will do another search for it. Right now I am using the DC power down by belt which works but would feel safer using the one for accessory up by gauge.
Mountainhorse can correct me if i'm wrong, but you can also plug into a 12 Volt harness by the hood harness(on all pro models but haven't seen an Ayxs yet). There should be an 8-pin connector right next to the hood harness which is a 12 Volt DC power for charging a battery.
Brown Wire - Ground
Red w/Green Stripe (right next to brown) - 12 Volt DC Power
Here is the mating connector part number: 33482-0801
Terminals: 33000-0002
Unfortunately you can only buy 100 at a time. If you want individual call Dobeck and mention this post on snowest. They should take care of you.
Thanks,
Chris

Found this under the hood. You would have to unplug accessory every time you remove hood. Well the picture is blurry and not the best but it looks like your typical 2 prong male/female automotive plug.

I used the RCA power supply in the bag by the handle bar post for a heated visor. The garmin amps mount has a fuse inline. haven't got to try it out for long but hope it works. they have a 12volt accessories kit so there has to be a plug there somewhere. I was going to buy just for the directions and fitting but it was $45. If anyone figures it all out please let us know. Once I ride mine for the day I will comment on the RCA plug supply
Has anyone been able to figure out a long term resolution for a DC power source? Does Polaris not offer a plug and play 12v cigarette lighter outlet like they had on the last models?
Do you think it's possible?

What is the amp draw of the light(s) you plan to run?
About 5 amp max for all my accessories. But all the accessories will not work at the same time and not continuously.

I'm not confident that it would work as you have it written. The factory electric start system should have the power regulator before the battery so it is being charged with a narrow voltage range. You would need some kind of choke device to limit the power demand from the stator to cap it at 2 amps. The way I read it, there is nothing to keep that fuse from popping as soon as that 5 amp load is triggered on. On a vehicle, the battery is typically just used to start the engine, the power generating device needs to provide juice for all needs plus a safety margin. You aren't anywhere close to that at this time.
So if I understand correctly, if I remove the 2 amp fuse, the system as I have drawn it can work I imagine. The dc pwr wire comes directly from the stator, I wanted to protect it by including a fuse. The only role of the dc pwr wire is to give me some charge on the battery while driving.

If you remove the fuse, I'm betting you burn up your charging system as MountainHorse states it is not designed to support that much draw.
