Stomp Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'm looking to add a USB socket and some LED lights to my RT-P and I don't have any sort of manual or wiring diagram. The RT-P has a crap load of extra wiring, but I'm looking for switched 12V power that can source ~1.5A. That should be plenty for my needs. Can anyone provide a picture or link to the wiring diagram for a 2006 R1200RT? Police edition wiring schematic gets you a gold star! Thanks! Link to comment
bobmorris Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Stomp: I have a pdf of the rt-p wiring but it is 945kb in size. Can you handle it? PM me at bobmorris@spro.net Bob Link to comment

Joe Frickin' Friday Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Front/rear accessory sockets are switched, and should be good for considerably more than 1.5A. Link to comment
Stomp Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Front/rear accessory sockets are switched, and should be good for considerably more than 1.5A. Huh, I hadn't thought about using those as I thought they were fused for a lower draw. I've read that there's a connector for the GPS unit (mine does not have one) that I could use. Just need to figure out which of the many unattached connectors that I've got will work. DMM time.... Link to comment

Huh, I hadn't thought about using those as I thought they were fused for a lower draw. To find out the fuse rating, check the manual, or contact your dealer. The outlets provide enough current to run an electric vest, so it's probably at least a 5 or 7.5-amp fuse. Alternative: install an Eastern Beaver PC-8 aux fuse panel, and use the accessory socket to provide switching for the relay that powers the fuse panel directly from the battery. Those circuits can provide up to 15A. Link to comment
_Rob_ Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 At last check on an '07, the front / rear sockets are rated at 5 amps; any higher draw will trip canbus logic to shut power to the socket. Link to comment
