I usually search for tutorials and advice online for my vehicles but could find precious little about the Textron XX. So I decided to do what I could to provide one that might help someone else figure out the accessory wiring. Here it is:
View attachment 234994 View attachment 235002 View attachment 235010 View attachment 235018 View attachment 234994 View attachment 235026 I wanted to wire up a horn that I had so I began exploring the accessory wiring situation. Found some interesting things out. Only the SW ACC 1 plug is hot (only with Ignition ON). None of the B1, 2, 3 circuits have power under any circumstance. I inserted the proper rated fuses in the fuse box so no slots were empty but no joy on the B circuits. I finally ran a wire from the battery to a horn relay and used 2 prong flat connector to supply switching power to the relay. Found a good ground using a screw that holds the antifreeze overflow/tool box bracket. Anyone had any success getting power to the B circuits? The big rectangular female connectors under the hood by the firewall must be for Textron accessories as I cannot find a pigtail to plug into them. See picture ACC B1. Flat 2 prong connectors are available at most auto parts, tractor supply, even maybe Home Depot or Lowes. You'll have to cut the wires because most of these flat connectors are extensions. I'll attach some annotated pictures. The dealer was no help in sorting this out, giving advise for Arctic Cat Wildcat wiring which does not apply. 90% of what he said was wrong. The horn works only with the Ignition switch ON.
