So, I installed the heated grips and it was straight forward except I avoided removing the tank to access one of the plugs.
Desert X Heated hand grip installation - LH Wiring
Background on issue at hand
I am installing Ducati accessory heated grips on my desert X. The right hand side went easy. On the left hand side I found what looks like the plug on the RI connector (see blue above). I tried removing the plug but it is securely glued in place, almost to the point that it seems like they dont want you to remove it. I tugged on the plug with some needle nose pliers but all it did was to deform it. I stopped thinking I had the wrong plug. I looked around in that area hoping to find another plug, but this is the only one.
Note: the right hand side had a dummy plug end the was not glued that easily un clipped VS the left hand side which is totally glued and no sight of a dummy plug
Question
Has anyone run into this issue on the left hand side of the bike when installing heated grips? any advise?
