Just installed my harness for my heated gloves.
Tapped into the horn circuit up front, very easy, only had
to remove left inner cover.
The horn "does not" have a hot lead to the horn.
The horn switch "is not" a to ground switch.
It is just like one would expect. The horn has a ground and
a wire to the horn switch. The horn switch injects current to horn
when tripped.
(Maybe I was just reading the above posts wrong)
There is a constant hot to the horn button ignition switched.
The circuit to the horn switch is the Horn/Tail light circuit, 10 amp switched.
My connector harness has an inline fuse, came with a 15 amp installed.
Swapped inline fuse to a 5 amp so it trips before circuit fuse. Tested
already when measuring current from glove connector and accidentally touched
both +/- together, oops.
Gloves state 22watts x 2 = 44watts so should be just under 4 amps. If need to
can go to 7.5 amp fuse.
As a side note I am thoroughly impressed with the gloves for the money.
Sedici Hotwired Gloves on sale at Cycle Gear $134.99 comes with y-harness, power tap and
controller built into each glove (off, low, med, hot). Quality of kit definitely exceeded my
expectations for the money. Usually when I buy some overpriced "motorcycle" farkle I feel
like the company just stuck me good not this time. Gloves warm up in about 2 seconds too.
We'll see how they last, I asked twice and CG claims lifetime guarantee.
