P1000 Electrical Help

Ghost,
You are correct, but using the sub harness is an easy way to get
switched power out of the factory wiring without have to cut into it.

I am going to use it to activate the isolator for an auxiliary battery.

I grabbed this link to show the harness. Look down in the electrical
accessories.

Maybe I'm not clear on the use of the sub-harness - cause I have no intension to buy the Honda switch plate / harness.
I thought the sub-harness plugs into something else and provides keyed power to the horn and "reverse" power to the backup alarm. I guess I have more homework to do - or just abandon the sub-harness and find what I need somewhere else.

I just wish I had the bloody machine to figure it out

Johnny_C,
Are you saying and do you know that sub harness will integrate into the P1000 or did I miss something? If it does, I will be ordering mine right away.

instulation instructions show where it plugs in. Instructions on the Honda Powersports web site. Open acc. and click on instructions.

FYI here is the back of the Honda wire harness where accessories plug in. It does not show heater so I am wrong about where it plugs in. Please post a picture when you get it. Thanks

Ned,
I was told the P700 harness is the same one used
on the P1000's. I read that here, in this thread, I
think. When I ordered it from my dealer, he confirmed
that, also.

I looked but didn't see it, although that is not to unusual. Lot's of time I find what I'm looking for exactly where I had looked before
Thanks, seems like the perfect way to tap into switched power neatly and cleanly. I will be ordering it today.

 

[Johnny_C]

I was looking around in the accessories instructions,
and if you want to know how to take your 1000
apart, read the horn installation. Oh My!

LOL... I seen that too.
Some of these instruction are crazy stupid.
The horn is a good example. It would take 10 hours following those instructions.
hahah..

Many Thanks to all that have done the research and posted up the various parts, such as battery, isolator, switches/rockers and power distribution module.
I've ordered all these parts, but not exactly sure as to how to power up the switches and the connections on the battery to the isolator, to the stock battery.
Those in the know, could you put together a diagram in that I could safely install these guys without worry of frying them to a crisp?
Thanks!

 

[Johnny_C]

Big River,
I'm with you on this. I have everything ordered as well, but
I'm not sure how it all works, either. I am sure the component
kits will each have a diagram, so I will do one at a time until it's
all done.

Thanks to everyone as well. This is going to be a fun little machine
in so many ways.

I'll post up what I learn in the process.

I've seen diagrams on a google search as for the battery and isolator line connection, that'd not hard to find.
What has me wondering now is the terminals connections behind these OTRATTW switches. The lower portion has a light as well as the upper portion. The winch switch as 10 terminals. Guess I could always contact OTRATTW.

I contacted them and they told me to check out the rzr forums. They said it's been discussed on there a lot. I checked and it didn't help me much. I am with you guys on understanding how all this goes together. I figured out the isolator and I think I've got the distribution box too. It's the switches and getting it all together that gets me.

Notes on this schematic,
1...Using 18 gauge wire the ignition powers the holding coil
in the relay thru a switch, this does two things,
(A) once the ignition is turned off the accessory will be
powered down, no chance of a accessory being left on.
(B) The holding coil only draws approx 150ma so the draw
on the ignition circuit is negligible.
Of course the accessory is also controlled with the switch.

2... Looking at the wire chart below 12 gauge wire in most
cases will work for our UTV needs.
12 gauge wire from the fuse block to relay terminal 30,
then 12 gauge wire from 87 to your accessory, also 12
gauge wire for the accessory ground.

3...I use a relay for each accessory, for example
I have two light bars, each one has a relay and is fused separately.

4... See below for a pic of the relay depicted in this schematic,
these relays can be purchased all day long on ebay for $2.

5...I crimp, solder and heat shrink all connections.

6...These relays are considered "N/O" (normally open)
once the relay is powered it then closes.

This is from Autotrend and is made for a UTV with fuses relays and switches. I to am challenged when it comes to wireing so this might work well for me. Even comes with the switches wired.

This is the diagram that I came across, easy to follow.

Pertaining to this image, I am assuming that I can use the aforementioned Sub Harness as my connection to the Ignition 12V + to the battery isolator relay? Do I have my head on straight with that? Also, I was not intending on fusing the main positive connections between batteries and the isolator...I would take feedback on that please?

 

[joeymt33]

It would be a bad day if they weren't fused and the hot wire chaffed and grounded!

If you do the fuses, look for some that connect to the battery post or at least make the fuse as close to the battery positive terminal as possible.

Of course, if the length of wire is only 5-6" between the batteries and isolator, it may not be needed. If that were the case, just put some wire loom around it and secure it tightly to the wire.

Ned,
You are correct about the power
from the sub-harness.. This is how I
had it visualized, but these graphics
help a lot.

Thanks!

I wired my fuse block to be hot all the time instead of switch hot. My rear lights, and stereo I use when the key isn't always on. I didn't want it to turn off every time the vehicle turned off.

Edit...

Doesn't that leave your lighted switches on all the time? That is the reason I am thinking of the switched access. I have looked at your setup, don't I see wire loom? Did you fuse your positives between batteries and the isolator?
